Tucked into the Merle Hay area on the northwest side of Des Moines, this well cared for ranch sits minutes from Beaverdale, Merle Hay Mall, and some of the best local shops and restaurants on this side of town, with quick interstate access to anywhere in the metro. The main level offers 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a comfortable layout with new flooring in the living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom, plus a few thoughtful bathroom updates. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a great bonus space with a non-conforming third bedroom and a bar area, giving you endless possibilities for a guest room, home office, hangout space, or the perfect spot to entertain on game days. Outside you'll find a fully fenced yard with a dog door already in place, making it move in ready for the four-legged family members, plus a 1 car detached garage for everyday convenience and extra storage. Whether you're heading to Snookies Malt Shop and the Beaverdale Farmers Market, grabbing dinner at Simon's, or catching a movie at Flix Brewhouse, you're right in the middle of one of the most established and well-loved pockets of Des Moines.
