🏡 WAIT…this is a townhome?!

If you have been looking for something updated, affordable, and a little more interesting than the typical townhome, you need to see 7020 Oak Brook Drive in Urbandale.

✨ $239,000
🛏 2 bedrooms + flexible finished lower-level space
🛁 3 bathrooms
🔥 Wood-burning fireplace
🌳 Huge private deck overlooking the trees and brook
🚪 Walk-out finished lower level
🚗 2-car attached garage
🛠 Updated throughout + newer appliances
🏠 NEW roof in 2026
🎨 Fresh exterior paint in 2026

And one of my favorite parts? No neighbor directly behind you. Instead, you get trees, wildlife, and a deck that actually feels like somewhere you would want to spend your evenings.

The finished lower level gives you even more options for a guest room, home office, second living space, workout room…or whatever your life needs next.

This one is definitely worth seeing in person.

📍 7020 Oak Brook Dr, Urbandale, Iowa
💰 Offered at $239,000

Some houses make you choose: the established neighborhood with the big trees, or the house where nothing needs doing.

609 Valley West Dr doesn't make you choose.

Nearly $100,000 in updates in the last three years — brand new flooring throughout, two beautifully updated bathrooms, new HVAC, a newer roof, radon mitigation, a reverse osmosis system, updated exterior concrete, and a heated garage with epoxy floors.

And then there's the layout, which is the part people don't expect: three of the four bedrooms have their own private bathroom. Four full baths total. If you've got parents moving in, adult kids coming back, or you just believe strongly that nobody should have to share a sink — this one is built for it.

A few more things I love: 🛁 Heated floors in the primary bathroom 🚪 Primary suite opens right out onto the deck 🌞 Walkout lower level, full of natural light, with a vented flex room (hot tub? home gym? guest room? your call) 🪵 Reinforced deck with strong posts — ready for a covered structure whenever you want one 🐕 Newer fence

Three of the four bedrooms have their own bathroom. 🤝 Open house tomorrow, Sunday, 1–3. Come walk through it. Bring your mom. Bring your buyer. Bring the friend who's been complaining about sharing a bathroom.
