This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a solid main structure and a fantastic head start on updates with brand-new carpet and fresh paint throughout! The functional layout includes generous living space, a finished lower level, and ample storage. While the major interior cosmetic updates are already done, there is still an excellent opportunity to add your final personal touches and build instant equity. Ideal for owner-occupants looking for a move-in-ready canvas or investors seeking a turnkey rental. Conveniently located near the Ingersoll corridor with easy access to downtown Des Moines, public transportation, parks, shopping, dining, and major metro routes.
