About this House
Price reduced!! Owner moving and this property is priced to sell!! You won’t want to miss this farmstead with potential on the blacktop close to Des Moines!
This property features a historic home built in 1919 on almost 3 acres of land, with several outbuildings, and pastures. The home has three bedrooms and one bath upstairs, and an additional bedroom and bathroom on the main level. In addition, the large attic with full stairs would make a great additional bedroom or hobby room! The kitchen was remodeled in 2008 and all of the appliances were new in 2021. There is a 4-season porch off of the living room. The living room also features a gas fireplace for those cozy winter nights in! The furnace and central air were new in 2019. The hot water heater was new in 2023. Anderson windows were installed throughout the home in 2005. The property has a working well but has the potential to be connected to Xenia rural water as well. The 800 gallon propane tank comes with the property. The backyard is fenced in and features a deck, as well as a concrete patio perfect for entertaining guests. The playset stays. Also on the property are numerous mature fruit trees, as well as a berry patch, beautiful flower plantings, and a windbreak planted on the north boundary. Winter does not do this property justice! There is also potential inside parking for four vehicles. New garage door recently installed on the small garage. You won’t want to miss this beautiful acreage!
