Welcome to this beautifully cared-for home in the heart of West Des Moines, within walking
distance to Valley High School and Western Hills Elementary. Nestled on a charming, tree lined
street, this home has been cherished by the same owner for 27 years, and the pride of ownership
is evident throughout. Outside, enjoy the manicured zoysia lawn, mature landscaping, and
inviting front patio that’s perfect for gathering with friends and neighbors. Step inside to a formal
living room filled with tons of natural light, a large bay window and classic crown molding. The
adjoining dining area is ideal for everyday meals or holiday entertaining. Just beyond the dining
area, the spacious kitchen opens to a comfortable den where a cozy gas fireplace creates the
perfect spot to unwind. From here, step outside to a covered patio with a sunshade and a fully
fenced backyard, creating a wonderful space for morning coffee, relaxing or summer BBQs.
Upstairs you'll find a spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet and ensuite bath, with
two additional spacious bedrooms and a remodeled full bathroom. Recent updates include a new
roof (2022/2023), new window wells (2022), A/C (2021), furnace and dehumidifier (2020),
updated electrical box, radon mitigation system (2017), and newer Renewal by Andersen
windows. After 27 years of laughter, celebrations and cherished moments, this home is ready to
welcome its next owner!
