$30,000 PRICE IMPROVEMENT: Calling all dog parents, hoop dreamers, and DIY visionaries: this Des Moines home is ready for its glow-up! This one-story home with a finished basement is bursting with potential and personality. It's equipped with the Port of Seattle's sound insulation window package for a peaceful, quiet interior. Inside, you'll find 5 bedrooms and 1.75 baths across 2,400 square feet, including a downstairs family room, storage room, and 2 additional bedrooms for flexibility. Cozy up next to one of two fireplaces, or start planning your dream kitchen and baths. New doors and fresh white paint throughout give you a true blank canvas to make your own. Outside is where this property really flexes: a fully fenced yard with its own dog kennel and doggy door, plus a private athletic court for pickup games, practice shots, or just burning off energy on a sunny afternoon. The garage has been converted into extra living space, giving you even more room to spread out, and there's still plenty of room for every hobby, tool, and holiday decoration you own. And the location? Unbeatable. Close to the Des Moines Library, near the new street link with convenient access to Hwy 509 and I-5, and just steps from local bus lines. Sure, this one needs a little love, but bring your vision and watch the sweat equity add up. Opportunities like this, with this much space, location, and room to make it your own, don't come around often. Come see the potential before someone else does!
