    You know that feeling when you walk into a home and immediately realize it is better than you expected? 1442 16th Street is one of those homes. Soaring ceilings, natural light, and thoughtful updates make this two-bedroom bungalow feel open, stylish, and surprisingly spacious. The kitchen features new cabinetry, updated countertops, stainless steel appliances, open shelving, a custom hood enclosure, and a dedicated coffee bar or workspace. Just off the kitchen is one of the home’s best surprises: a rare bonus room that could serve as a dining room, home office, reading room, playroom, or second living area. Throughout the home, you’ll find new flooring, fresh paint, updated trim, modern lighting, and a refreshed bathroom. Outside, the long driveway leads to two detached single-stall garages plus an additional carport—an uncommon amount of parking and storage. The unfinished basement and attic provide additional storage and potential for future use or finishing, subject to buyer verification and applicable requirements. Located approximately one mile from Drake University and minutes from downtown Des Moines, this home is move-in ready, full of character, and anything but ordinary. Come see why this one feels different.
