What's special

Refreshed the interior paintReplaced all flooringNew landscaping

This well-maintained home offers an impressive list of updates and an exceptionally spacious yard "over 1/3 an acre" - all just a few miles from downtown Des Moines. Over the past five years, the owner has replaced all flooring, refreshed the interior paint, and updated the bathroom with a new tub, toilet, vanity, and mirror. The refrigerator, microwave, stove, washer, and dryer have also been replaced, along with ceiling fans in the living room and both bedrooms. Outside, several thousand dollars have been invested in tree removal and new landscaping. Situated on a double lot totaling more than one-third acre, the property provides substantially more outdoor space than is typical for the area. A generous 24' x 24' garage offers excellent parking and storage, while the attached 16' x 22' shed provides flexible bonus space for a workshop, hobby room, personal retreat, or additional storage. Enjoy room to spread out, thoughtful updates, and a convenient location near downtown!
