Unique opportunity to own a spacious ranch home with flexible living space and future income potential in a convenient Des Moines location. Originally designed as a single family home, this property offers multiple living areas, separate entrances, and a layout that could work well for multigenerational living, extended family, home office space, or a future duplex conversion. The main portion of the home features solid ranch style living with generous room sizes and functional space throughout, including additional finished space in the basement. Property is being sold as is and does need updates and improvements, but offers significant upside for an owner occupant, investor, or buyer looking to build equity. Hard to find opportunity with versatility, square footage, and value at this price point.
