Tucked away just off University Ave., Waveland Village is one of Des Moines hidden gems, known for its timeless Bauhaus-inspired architecture, secure keyed entry, and peaceful setting. This highly sought-after main-floor condo offers the largest floorplan in the community. What truly sets this home apart is its rare combination of space, views, and outdoor living. Unlike most condos, this unit features two private outdoor spaces. The first is a covered patio off the living room overlooking the secluded community pool and tranquil bird sanctuary. The second is a private walkout patio off the primary suite where you can relax with beautiful views of the garden, green space, and the scenic Waveland Golf Course—a truly unique feature, as very few condo communities in Des Moines offer golf course views. The open-concept layout is filled with natural light and includes a flexible bonus nook that creates the perfect space for a home office, reading retreat, or hobby area, making the layout as functional as it is inviting. This home offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the convenience of a laundry room located on the same floor. Secure building access, covered parking, a community/game room, maintained grounds, and amenities designed for carefree living. HOA dues cover all utilities except electric and internet and the building is equipped with Google Fiber. If you like simplicity, nature, and convivence, this may be your next home.
