What the owner loves about this home
What we love most about this home is how it brings people together. The custom kitchen has been the heart of our home from everyday family meals to holidays and entertaining. The oversized island provides plenty of seating, and the open layout makes it easy for everyone to stay connected.
We also love spending time in the backyard, it has been a great place to unwind and entertain.
The established neighborhood offers larger yards and mature trees while still being just minutes from schools, shopping, restaurants, Prairie Meadows, Adventureland, and quick access to I-80, making it easy to get anywhere in the Des Moines metro.
We have invested in quality updates throughout the home, including a custom kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, new roof, and new siding, so the next owners can simply move in and enjoy it. This home has been a wonderful place to make memories, and we hope the next family enjoys it as much as we have.
