Send this to the empty nester or retiree who's been waiting for the perfect home in Polk City. 😍
Because this one is making a pretty strong case.
If you've been looking for true main-floor living without giving up space for family visits, hobbies, or the grandkids, this is exactly the kind of listing I'd want you to see.
🏠 807 W Trace Dr | $339K | 3 bed / 3 bath | Ranch walkout townhome
Picture your morning coffee in the bright 4-season room or out on the composite deck, with pond views and the sound of the fountain. Everything you need day to day is on one level: an updated kitchen with granite and stainless appliances, a primary suite with a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and new Kohler fixtures, plus main-floor laundry (washer and dryer included!).
Downstairs, the walkout lower level gives you room for guests with a second living area, an oversized bedroom, a full bath, and a storeroom big enough to hold the things you're not ready to part with.
And the best part? Low HOA dues cover lawn care, snow removal, trash, and exterior maintenance, so you can spend your time at TCI Golf Course or Big Creek State Park instead of on chores. The big-ticket items are handled too, with a newer roof (2019) and HVAC and water heater (2023).
If your search has been stuck on "I want to simplify, but I don't want to give up the space or the view," I wouldn't write it off just yet.
DM me TRACE I'll send you all the information on this one and help you see it in person!
