Rare opportunity to own a home on nearly half an acre in the heart of Des Moines! Mature trees create a peaceful setting while multiple outdoor living spaces provide the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, entertain guests, or relax while overlooking the spacious backyard.
This 4-bedroom home offers a functional layout with three bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, plus a fourth bedroom and a ¾ bathroom in the finished lower level. The bright living room features a large bay window that fills the space with natural light and offers charming neighborhood views. Downstairs, you'll find a cozy family room with a gas fireplace, making it the perfect spot to unwind on cooler evenings.
The oversized, detached two-car garage is equipped with electricity and heat, making it an ideal workshop or hobby space to enjoy year-round.
Major mechanical and exterior updates provide added peace of mind, including the furnace, central air conditioner, water heater, roof, fascia, and gutters — all replaced since 2022. Electrical panel updated in September 2026.
Conveniently located with quick access to downtown Des Moines, this property offers the space you've been looking for without sacrificing city convenience.
