Have you heard the sage real estate advice, "Buy the worst house in the best neighborhood?" This fixer-upper 3 bed, 1.5 bath home on a quiet street, 30 minutes from the Des Moines metro, on 2/3 acres with a creek bed running along your backyard, is in a neighborhood of $200,000+ homes. The basement foundation appears dry & solid and was waterproofed at an earlier time, the home has good bones but needs some love. The elderly gentleman that lived here couldn't keep up in recent years, the land got overgrown. The children that grew up here (who are selling it though a POA) say they remember trimmed hedges along the front, beautiful flower beds and lots of room to run around and play. Their hope is someone who has vision will restore this property back to the beautiful family home it used to be.
