Property Description

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.
