    Beautiful home with light filled rooms south of Grand on 51st in Des Moines. When you enter the home you walk into the large living room with hardwood floors and a gas fireplace. The dining room has large windows bringing in natural light and a built-in corner china cabinet. The kitchen was recently updated with new cabinets, appliances, and countertops. Double glass doors open out onto the large deck overlooking the wooded lot where you can see deer graze and a fox play. The first floor also has a den or rec room off the living room along with a 1/2 bath. The second floor has three bedrooms, built-in cabinets in the hall, lots of closet space, and a full bathroom. The attic is finished so could be used as a 4th bedroom. The front yard is fenced and has maintenance free landscaping and a variety of plants. The back yard has the start of a pollinator garden and a brick patio. The basement has a pedestrian door to walk out into the back yard. The home is close to schools, parks, and many bike trails.
