Small town square. Big lake energy. 🚤 ⛵️ 🐟 🏕️ 🌳

Just listed in Polk City. This spacious townhome had a well loved, well worn chapter. Now she’s ready to turn the page. Head to toe, it’s been completely redone:

New countertops
Professionally refinished cabinets
New LVP and tile flooring
Fresh paint throughout
New lighting nearly everywhere

High ceilings + great light = zero dungeon vibes.

Mowing and shoveling? The HOA has it handled, so your weekends belong to the trails, Saylorville Lake, and Jester Park.

2 bedrooms | 2.5 baths | 2 car garage | $235,000
📍 762 East Trace Way, Polk City

Close enough to the city for work. Close enough to the lake to forget about it.

Message me to see it in person.

Adel is growing, and this home sits right in the middle of it. A quick drive gets you to historic downtown's shops and restaurants. And of course, Billy's Ice Cream Store! The interstate's even closer, for an easy commute to Des Moines.

This home at 1608 Southbridge Dr was made for that next chapter. Four years of completed upgrades mean you move in and start living, not renovating. A massive finished lower level gives you plenty of room to spread out. A heated sunroom, already established landscaping, covered bar, and hot tub turn the backyard into its own destination. Let the solar panels do the heavy lifting, bringing most months electric bill to under $10.

Open house this Sunday, 1 to 3pm, if you want to see it in person.

🍊 385,000 Iowans experience food insecurity.
🫐 1 in 6 are children.

They are our neighbors, friends, coworkers. Big city, small town . they are kids in our classrooms struggling to get through the hunger to even be able to focus and learn.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the receiving end of programs like these. I know what it’s like to worry about food, housing, or how you’re going to make things work one day to the next. Life can change in an instant and we could easily find ourselves in need. I’m so grateful to now be in a position where I can give back and support organizations doing this work in our community. (btw local community fridges >> another incredible food support!🍎)

Thank you Food Bank of Iowa for continuing to grow programs like school and community pantries where kids and families can access support in a familiar, safe place.

Dignity matters. Privacy matters. People matter. 💜

Share links in the comments for volunteering, donating, or finding a pantry near you.
