This beautifully updated single-story home blends comfort, charm, and location. Start your mornings on the spacious deck taking in sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, or unwind there in the evening as the sun sets. The thoughtfully maintained garden with a functional greenhouse create a peaceful outdoor space you can enjoy year-round. Inside, warm hardwood floors and a bright, open layout create an easy flow between the large living area and the updated kitchen, making the home feel both welcoming and practical for everyday living or hosting friends. The generous primary suite offers a quiet retreat with ample closet space and a private bath. Outside, the fully fenced yard with an automatic gate adds privacy, while the detached garage and shed provide valuable storage and workspace. This home offers a rare balance - a tranquil garden setting just steps from downtown Des Moines shops, restaurants, and the marina.
