    What's special

    Cozy single family home ready for new ownership- sold as is, no rentals & no contracts. Great location, close to downtown Des Moines, schools & minutes from the future South-West Connector. The exterior was completed in 2009 and included vinyl siding, aluminum trim, insulation of some exterior walls & the installation of new windows on the front porch and kitchen. The backyard is 2 level and divided by a retaining wall and fencing. Lower half of backyard in mid landscaping - just add a little dirt and you favorite plants to the boxes that have been created. Nice brick patio to privately enjoy the park like surroundings. Two decks adorn the home on both the east side & the north (front). Many perennials fill both the upper and lower areas of the front yard. Inside the home the crown molding ceiling in the living room will capture your eye. Built in shelving in a corner of the living room come in handy for storage or decoration. The living room has an adjoining dining area & is right next to the kitchen. The flooring throughout the main areas of the home, including the hallway are a warm cherry colored wood laminate. The kitchen and bath are both tile and the bedrooms are tan/brown Frieze carpeting. The kitchen offers white appliances (which all stay) and a white ceramic sink. Two windows keep the kitchen bright and cheery. The full bathroom has a pedestal sink and double headed shower sprayer. The living room and bedrooms have ceiling fans which helps to cut down on cooling costs. The park like atmosphere around the home also helps to shade and keep the house cool as well. Basement is unfinished and used currently as storage and laundry. Both the washer and dryer come with the home as well. Both bedrooms are 10x10 have two windows, single closets and are both able to comfortably accommodate Queen size beds. Home sits on a 50 x 138' lot atop a hill overlooking downtown Des Moines and MaCrea Park. The home also has a security system through Vivint that the new home owner can choose to take over for a $100 fee, current service runs approx $70/mo, or it can be removed. Most homeowner insurance policies offer a discount for having a security system. The home is move in ready but will need some TLC. NFC financing is available in this neighborhood.
