Rare opportunity to own ranch home in Johnston under $300k with space, updates, and a hard-to-find setting. This 4 bedroom ranch sits on nearly a half-acre lot, offering a combination of privacy and usability that’s difficult to find at this price point. Inside, the home features a functional layout with ceramic tile flooring, fresh carpet, and a bright living area that flows into the kitchen and dining space.

A large garage provides excellent room for vehicles, tools, or hobbies. Large front deck and back deck offer incredible entertaining spaces, and the backyard is fenced. Major updates including a newer roof and heating system offer added peace of mind. Located in a highly desirable Johnston location with quick access to schools, parks, and the metro, this home delivers strong value, space, and opportunity in today’s market.
