Welcome to 2810 Rutland Avenue — a charming Des Moines home with classic character and fresh updates throughout. New appliances and fixtures make everyday living feel modern and move-in ready, while the warm traditional details give it a cozy, timeless feel: dark wood trim, baseboards, and crown molding, a beautiful turned-spindle staircase, and light wood-look flooring flowing through the main level.
This home offers 3 comfortable bedrooms, including a master suite with its own private bath — a relaxing retreat at the end of the day.
And just when you think you've seen it all, head up to the 3rd floor — a wonderful carpeted flex space that's perfect for a kid's fort, play area, game room, or quiet hangout. It's exactly the kind of space that sparks imagination and gives everyone a little extra room to spread out.
Out back, enjoy a wood deck off the rear of the home — ready for summer grilling or morning coffee.
Don't miss your chance to make this updated gem your own — schedule your showing today!
