Completely rebuilt from the studs up, this Southside Des Moines home offers the space and feel of a new home with the character and lot size you don't often find. The interior was fully gutted and rebuilt, including new electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, doors, windows, and HVAC work. The floor plan was expanded to create 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with over 2,550 total SF, including a finished basement bedroom with an egress window. The kitchen features new cabinets and quartz countertops, with appliances included. An abundance of natural light and an open, fresh interior make this home truly move-in ready. Major exterior improvements include a less-than-5-year-old roof, new gutters, newer siding, and a covered front porch. Outside, enjoy a 0.34-acre lot, fenced yard, and an oversized detached 2-car garage. Several major structural components are also newer, while the extensive interior rebuild was completed under engineered plans and city permitting. Tax abatement has been approved, adding even more value for the next owner. If you're looking for a home that has been thoughtfully rebuilt rather than simply updated, this one deserves a closer look. All information obtained from Seller and public records.
