    What's special

    Great value add duplex in the historic River Bend neighborhood of Des Moines. The City is doing extensive work on the 2nd 6th Ave Corridor and has long term interest in progressing the area. The property is directly across the street from Bates Park which is also under renovation. Up and coming neighborhood. This is a top down duplex. Bottom level is extra large with enclosed front porch for added space. New electrical baseboard wall heating installed in 2019, newer flooring around that time as well. Property is being sold with 1514 Arlington Ave (triplex), and with 309 Clark (4 bedroom home) as they all reside next to each other and share a driveway.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
