LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Nestled in Des Moines' Merle Hay Neighborhood and just blocks from Waveland Golf Course, sits this classic 1952 brick bungalow. This charming home has been recently renovated in the living room, kitchen and full bath. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and a full size attic above that can accommodate many uses from a third bedroom to an in-home office or playroom. The basement footprint allows for ample storage and contains newer washer and dryer that are included. All appliances are included and the home comes furnished as shown in photos. There is a single car detached garage that will require some structural stabilization, but serves the property well. This property is priced aggressively and being sold as-is.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
