    What's special

    Don't blink on this one! Homes on HALF AN ACRE in Des Moines are rare and this one has never been on the market! The home includes lots of original detail & character, like coved ceilings, built-ins and much more. The large living room greets you as you enter the front door, with the dining room & open-concept kitchen in the back. The 3 bedrooms offer tons of natural light & all on the 1st level. For even more room to spread out, head down to nearly 1,000 sqft of finish in the basement. There's enough space for an extra bedroom, man cave, office, gym or rec room. It even has a HUGE walk-in closet! Behind the home, you can grill dinner out on your private deck under the pergola or enjoy time working on projects in your 3-car garage & big storage shed. The tree-lined property offers enough yard for a future pool, playset or anything you can imagine. The options are endless! Just minutes from downtown & MOVE IN READY. This home just awaits your personal stamp!
