Land with Home for Sale in Runnells, Iowa
10050 NE University Ave, Runnells, IA 50237
Holy moly, this yard. Sitting on 1.72 acres surrounded by nature, 10050 NE University Ave delivers what acreage buyers are actually searching for: privacy, mature trees, and 2,208 sq ft of combined attached garage and outbuilding space. That's nearly as much garage and shop as living space. Over 1,000 sq ft of it was set up as a woodworking shop with electricity, plus the oversized attached garage with high ceilings AND an extra storage shed for tools and equipment. Cars, projects, hobbies, toys. There's room for all of it. The house holds its own too. 2,369 sq ft with four generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms, all in the Southeast Polk school district. The living room centers on a beautiful brick fireplace, and large windows frame a stunning view of the backyard, where trees, wildlife, and open sky replace the usual suburban backdrop. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, with a skylight in the bathroom and sliding doors that open directly onto the deck. The perfect spot for your morning coffee. If you've been searching for acreage, privacy, and serious shop space, this is a rare opportunity you won't want to miss.
