Some homes just feel welcoming the moment you walk through the front door. Maybe it's the warmth of the hardwood floors, the sunlight pouring through the windows, or the way the spaces flow so effortlessly together. Whether you're hosting family for the holidays, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or watching kids and pets play in the backyard, this home was designed for the moments that matter most.
Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this move-in ready ranch combines timeless charm with thoughtful updates throughout. The bright, functional kitchen opens to the dining area, making everyday meals and entertaining easy, while the lower level creates so much opportunity for future finish for movie nights, a home office, workouts, or overnight guests.
You'll appreciate the peace of mind that comes with major updates already completed, including a new roof (2022), HVAC (2023), exterior paint and garage door (2020), newer kitchen appliances, and washer and dryer (2026).
Located in the heart of West Des Moines, you'll love being just minutes from parks, shopping, dining, Valley Junction, and everything that makes this community such a wonderful place to call home. All that's left to do is unpack, settle in, and start making memories.
