    What's special

    Two-car detached garageOriginal hardwoodsSmall charming surprises
    Yes, it’s a fixer upper. But it’s also a home with charm that’s still hanging on and waiting for someone who’s ready to bring it back to life. The main floor has two bedrooms, a full bath, original hardwoods, and a brick fireplace that instantly feels like the heart of the home. Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms and a half bath with plenty of potential for whatever you need. Everywhere you look, there are small, charming surprises that make this home feel nothing like a cookie-cutter new build. Outside, there’s a two-car detached garage and a yard that’s ready for some love. And you’re just minutes from downtown Des Moines, so all the good food, coffee, and fun is right there. If you’re looking for a project with personality and a chance to make something your own, this one is ready for you.
