4226 High St, West Des Moines, IA 50265
What's special
4226 High Street: talk about a place that feels like home! Nostalgia in each corner of this three bedroom, two bathroom, .8 acre property. My seller’s father and brother re-built the home. Custom hardwood cabinetry, cozy rooms, unique door choices and nooks. A footbridge takes you past the fenced-in-yard to the garage with a shop, a loft and a 3-car approach … with a fair amount of gravel in the area so you can hear your guests pulling up. Almost an acre of trees and slower times here in this pocket of homes near the river. Chatting with neighbors out on a stroll, you get to see them for a hello going both ways ... and of course a dog or two. The sellers father and brother have since passed; so bittersweet is the word of the day. She isn't selling her family home but handing the space off to a new person to carry on & enjoy the good life here. A magical space full of small-town goodness. Key notes: new roof on both the house + the garage in 2025, new washer/ dryer/ microwave, sliding doors/most windows have been updated, stainless kitchen appliances, radon mitigation system + water softener included .... and just 5 minutes "into town to grab an ice cream" ... a location and a home you can breathe easy in.
