About this home
Corner-lot gem in Des Moines packed with updates, space, and extras you’ll love! This 3-bedroom + 2 BONUS ROOMS. ( Could be used as a 5 bedroom ). 1-bath home is move-in ready with bright living areas and smart updates throughout. Step outside to a fenced backyard designed for fun—fire pit for cozy nights, shed for storage, and plenty of room to play. (Kennels reserved.) The heated 2-stall garage is a true perk—whether you’re shielding your car from winter or tackling projects year-round.
Downstairs, the basement brings flexibility with two bonus rooms—perfect as a den, office, gym, or even two unconventional bedrooms (no egress). Major peace-of-mind upgrades include a foundation professionally repaired by Anchored Walls with crank system + transferable lifetime warranty. Plus, big-ticket updates: furnace & A/C (2019), roof (2020), tankless water heater (2015), and seamless leaf-guard gutters.
With a corner lot, versatile spaces, and upgrades already done, this home is anything but ordinary. Close to parks, schools, shopping, and major roads—it blends comfort, convenience, and character in one neat package. Don’t miss it—this one checks every box!
