    What's special

    Beautiful archwaysPrivate courtyard
    Packed with character and loaded with potential, this charming 1.5-story brick home on Des Moines' south side is ready for its next chapter. Inside you'll find 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, beautiful archways, a formal dining room flooded with natural light from an abundance of windows, and a versatile 3-season den that works perfectly as an additional family room or flex space. Outside, enjoy a private courtyard, a 2-car detached garage, and an incredibly serene fully fenced backyard surrounded by mature trees. The walkout basement offers partial finish and room for future expansion. While the home could benefit from some repairs and updates, it's priced accordingly and presents an excellent opportunity for investors, renovators, or buyers looking to build sweat equity. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Des Moines, this property offers charm, space, and upside at an attractive price point.
