    What's special

    Stylish tile backsplashUpdated kitchenWhite cabinetry
    Don't let the 1939 build year fool you — this home has been updated where it counts and shows beautifully throughout. A new roof installed in 2021 gives you peace of mind from day one. The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, a stylish tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range — a setup that would feel right at home in a much newer build. Inside you'll find luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level, carpet in the bedrooms, a tray ceiling with ceiling fan in the living room, and large windows that bring in plenty of natural light. The layout offers three bedrooms on the main level, a full bath, and a bonus upper-level room perfect for a home office, creative studio, or kids playroom. Outside, the dark charcoal siding gives this home genuine curb appeal, and the 1-car garage plus generous lot size give you room to breathe. The unfinished basement adds valuable storage and future potential. Located in Indianola Hills on Des Moines' sought-after south side — minutes from Gray's Lake, downtown, and all the south side has to offer. Priced to move at $194,900. Schedule your showing today.
