Built in 2009 by Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home on College Ave has been loved and looked after every year since. A covered front deck welcomes you in, and once inside you'll feel it immediately: solid bones, a smart layout, and pride of ownership that shows in every corner. The living room's electric fireplace sets a cozy tone, and the whole main level flows easily from living space to kitchen to bedrooms — no wasted square footage here. Big news for the next owner: the roof, AC, and furnace have all been recently replaced, so the major systems everyone worries about are already handled. That means you get to focus on the fun stuff, like the unfinished basement just waiting for your vision. With egress windows already in place, it's easily configured to add a 4th bedroom, a rec room, or both — giving you built-in equity potential when you're ready. No garage, but there's space to add one if that's on your wish list. This home is designated for owner-occupants only, and income restrictions may apply — check agent remarks for full eligibility details. A comfortable 1,056 square feet and a price point built for real life. This is a rare chance to own a genuinely well-built, well-maintained Habitat-built home. Schedule your showing today.

Beaverdale charm, newly built house! This 2023 home gives you the best of both worlds: an established neighborhood with mature trees and walkable, beloved local businesses- plus the peace of mind of a nearly-new house where every system is under three years old (and yes, no orange-burg sewer line to worry about). Even better, the home still carries an active tax abatement: the first two years at 100% have passed, but the savings roll on- 75% off the home's assessed value in year three, 50% in year four, and 25% in year five- so you'll enjoy reduced property taxes for years to come. Four bedrooms, three baths, a finished basement, fully fenced yard, and an attached 2-car garage. The front porch is straight out of a movie; the finishes inside are clean and modern. The main level is built for easy one-level living: an open layout, two bedrooms, a primary suite with walk-in closet, and main-floor laundry. Downstairs, the newly finished basement adds a spacious second living room, two more bedrooms, and a 3/4 bath- room to spread out or host. Out back, the new fence makes the yard private and ready for pets and people to play. Well-built, move-in ready, and rare this close to Beaverdale. Come see it before it's gone.
