Upper-level bonus spaceGenerously sized kitchenHardwood floors

Tucked into Des Moines East Village, one of the city's most walkable neighborhoods, this home offers 2 bedrooms plus an upper-level bonus space that sets it apart. The main level features a spacious living area, a generously sized kitchen with plenty of room to cook and gather, and a convenient main-level bedroom and full bath. Upstairs, an additional bedroom sits alongside an open bonus area that easily flexes as a home office, study, playroom, or potential third bedroom. Hardwood floors and included appliances (refrigerator, stove, washer, and dryer) make settling in easy. You're just minutes from East Village shops, the downtown farmers market, the Capitol. A solid opportunity to own a piece of historic Des Moines close to the heart of the city.
