611 Maple Street

Finding a hard-to-come-by in-town acreage with nearly 3 acres is an absolute rarity, and 611 Maple St. in Dexter delivers exactly that with plenty of room to expand, add additional buildings, or establish your own hobby farm. This property already features a detached two-stall garage and an extra utility building perfect for storage and keeping your equipment out of the weather. Originally built in 1910, the home boasts a historic soul paired with an extensive amount of recent updates by the sellers, including a completely rewired electrical system, new blown-in insulation for great efficiency, and new drywall and flooring throughout the majority of the main level, which connects to a gorgeous staircase showcasing beautiful, original woodworking that leads to beautifully refinished hardwood floors throughout the entire upstairs three bedrooms. The first floor offers a highly functional layout with main-floor laundry, and a spacious bathroom, presenting an incredible opportunity for the next buyers to truly make it their own since the kitchen and bathroom are the only two main rooms remaining to be remodeled—making the finishing touches a lot less overwhelming for a new owner. Situated a short, convenient 30-minute drive down the interstate to West Des Moines, this charming town offers no shortage of local entertainment, from Diamondhead Lake to dining at the Rusty Duck Grill downtown, giving you the perfect blend of quiet acreage living and excellent metro accessibility.
