    Gorgeous original hardwood floorsFully fenced backyard
    Welcome to 2500 Arthur Avenue, a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the heart of Des Moines, offering over 1,500 square feet of finished living space. This home strikes a rare balance between timeless character and modern comfort, anchored by gorgeous original hardwood floors that bring warmth and craftsmanship to every room. Recent updates offer true peace of mind, including a brand new basement bathroom addition and a new water heater and water main plumbing. Just a couple of years ago, the kitchen was refreshed with a new sink, cabinets, and countertops, creating a bright, functional space for everyday living and entertaining. The main bathroom received its own update as well, with a new sink, vanity, and bathtub. Outside, a detached 2-car garage provides ample storage with a large driveway for plenty of parking space and a fully fenced backyard with a covered patio off the back. This .25 acre lot feels spacious while at the same time not overwhelming to take care of which is perfect for easy maintenance. Move-in ready and waiting for its next owner.
