Two-car detached garageBeautifully updated three-bedroom homeFresh paintLarge walk-in pantryNewer roofNewer appliances

Beautifully updated three-bedroom home on a quiet street in West Des Moines, close to schools. This one has been updated throughout with fresh paint and new flooring running through the living room, kitchen, and hallway. The kitchen is a standout: huge, with a large walk-in pantry and newer appliances. The full bathroom on the main level has been updated, and ceiling fans in the bedrooms keep things comfortable year-round. Outside, you'll find a giant backyard, nearly half an acre, plenty of room to spread out, plus a two-car detached garage. A newer roof means one less thing to worry about. Move-in ready in the West Des Moines Community School District. Schedule your showing today.
