2119 E 13th is loaded with charm, solid bones, and a whole lot of potential all in one of Des Moines fastest-evolving neighborhoods. Located in both the NFC and Invest DSM zones, this is the kind of property that savvy buyers and investors keep their eye out for.
Inside, it's giving vintage character: original wood trim, a clawfoot tub, subway tile, and classic hex floors. The 3-bedroom layout includes a convenient main-floor half bath and an enclosed front porch just waiting for a vibe check. The backyard has alley access, a 2-car garage, and room to roam not fully fenced, but there's space to make it yours. With a little sweat equity, this place could easily turn heads. Flip it, rent it, or make it your own this one's a no-brainer if you've got vision.
