Lovely well maintained 1920s bungalow located just minutes from downtown Des Moines, I-235 and Ingersoll entertainment and dining. This cozy 2 bedroom 1 bathroom home has character and charm with the hardwood flooring, built in shelving and arched door ways. The roof and windows (kitchen and bedroom) were replaced in 2018. In 2023, the electrical outlets, junction box and master surge protector were updated. The interior water lines have been updated with pex. The HVAC system was replaced in 2018 including the water heater. This home sits on a great corner lot with chain link fencing both front and back. In addition the home has ring doorbell security. The unfinished walk out basement, shed and car port provide ample space for storage. This will be a wonderful place to call home!
