The neighborhood is just one of the great things about this lovely 3-bedroom, 3-bath home in West Des Moines. Starting on the outside, there is a newer concrete driveway (2021) and durable Everlast Composite siding (2020), and maintenance-free Leafguard gutters. An attached two-car garage makes weather irrelevant. Once inside, you enter into an open living room flooded with natural light. There is a spacious dining room that leads into the kitchen and a large family room with a freestanding wood stove (with enough stacked wood outside for months). Upstairs, you will find a full bathroom, all three bedrooms - including the primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom with a shower. Sliding glass doors lead you out to a deck redone in 2025 with TREX composite decking and stairs which take you down to the covered patio (also with newer concrete) and into the fully fenced backyard. There is a carpeted family room on the lower level and finished basement area with another wood-burning fireplace and laundry. New roof in 2018. Radon mitigation system in place. The home is one house away from Western Hills Elementary School and Western Hills Park.
