Welcome to this beautifully updated one-level home situated on a spacious corner lot in Des Moines. Offering partial water views and a serene, coastal-inspired ambiance, this property blends comfort, style, and versatility. Step inside to an open-concept layout designed for effortless living and entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living and dining areas, creating an inviting space with plenty of room to gather. Thoughtfully selected finishes throughout the home evoke the charm of a stylish European retreat, adding warmth and character at every turn. The fully remodeled primary suite is a true highlight, featuring a luxurious bathroom and a well-designed closet that offers both function and style. An office nook just off the dining area provides the perfect work-from-home setup without sacrificing flow or space. Outside, the backyard is ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. A detached structure offers endless possibilities—whether you envision a workshop, fitness studio, or creative space. The property also includes a one-bedroom, one-bath living space with a remodeled bathroom that has been successfully used as a short-term rental and income-producing unit, generating over $30,000 on Airbnb last year. Located just minutes from the Des Moines Marina, Saltwater State Park, and Sea-Tac Airport, with easy access to Hwy 509, I-5, and Hwy 99, this home combines convenience with a peaceful, coastal lifestyle.
