About This Home
If you've been waiting for newer construction in an established neighborhood where everything is already done for you - this is it! Welcome to Monroe Meadows, where this beautifully built Sage Builders ranch is sitting on a corner lot and ready for its next chapter. Enjoy five bedrooms, three baths, and an open concept layout that just feels right the moment you walk in. The main floor living space flows easily, the walk-in pantry is the kind you'll actually use, and the covered deck is the perfect spot to begin your rhythms or unwind at the end of the day. Best of all - the blinds are hung, the appliances are in, and the landscaping is done. Just move in and make it yours! Head downstairs and you'll find even more to love. The finished lower level is set up for real living - wet bar, full-size refrigerator, and plenty of room for game nights, watch parties, or just spreading out when everyone's together. This is the kind of home where people naturally want to gather. And the location? It checks every box. Easy access to Hwy 163 and Hwy 14 for your daily commute, PCM schools, Red Rock Lake is less than 10 miles down the road, and Des Moines less than 30 minutes away. Don't miss out on this corner lot in a neighborhood people work to get into - and now it could be yours!
