Adorable two bedroom 1 bath home south of the downtown Des Moines area. Lots of charm rests in this home and it is just waiting for that certain person(s) to call it Home Sweet Home. Location allows easy access to stores along SW 9th St - to downtown Des Moines and for those more sports oriented Principal Park - where the I Cubs play baseball - is close. Casey's Center is just up the road from Principal Park and boasts both sporting and cultural events/concerts etc. Civic Center downtown also offers cultural and more civic minded events for the enjoyment of the citizens of Des Moines.
