Welcome to this beautifully updated ranch located in Altoona. This home offers a great location with proximity to Southeast Polk schools and many nearby amenities. Extensively renovated inside and out, the home just underwent full exterior and interior updates in 2026, including James Hardie smart siding, new soffits and gutters, a freshly painted exterior, a new front door and garage entry door, 2 new modern-style overhead garage doors with new openers, permanent JellyFish exterior lighting, and a custom 8' x 12' shed. The main level features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, along with a welcoming living room centered around a cozy fireplace. The kitchen and bathrooms have new quartz countertops and new sinks with Kohler plumbing fixtures, complemented by new interior trim and new window coverings throughout. The finished basement offers a large entertaining space with a wet bar and surround sound system, along with a fourth bedroom and full bathroom. The attached garage features an epoxy floor, a mini-split, and two heaters, making it fully climate controlled. Additional updates include a new roof (2020), a composite deck with aluminum railings (2020), and a commercial-grade water heater (2022). The seller is reserving the washer and dryer, unless negotiated into the transaction. This home has been meticulously maintained and is truly move-in ready. Don't miss out on this opportunity. Schedule a showing today! All information was obtained from the seller and public records.
