The setting is the reason to put this one on your list. Perched high above the Des Moines River valley on more than half an acre, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath walkout ranch is framed by mature oaks, with no neighbors behind, valley views, and an easy commute downtown. Close to both Johnston and Beaverdale, and in the Johnston Schools, this location is hard to beat. Picture windows across the back on both levels pull that view into the rooms where you'll spend your time. The three-season porch opens straight onto the deck, both looking out over the woods below. It sits on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Skyline Drive, a backyard that changes how you use a house.The primary suite gives you another reason to slow down: a dedicated sitting area, a spacious walk-in closet with built-in shelving, and a private bath. Two more bedrooms, a full bath, a half bath, and an eat-in kitchen round out the home. Downstairs, the walkout level opens straight to the backyard, with a fireplace and picture windows, a good spot to watch the seasons change, starting with the leaves this fall. The oversized 2-car tuck-under garage adds extra storage. Updates are already done: roof (2019), HVAC (2024), and new front and back retaining walls with refreshed landscaping (2026). Photos only get you so far with a view like this. Come stand at the back windows, then step out onto the deck. That's when it clicks, and at this price, it's a lot of home.
