This classic Beaverdale brick is exactly what you would imagine! Charm abounds everywhere throughout this 2 story home! Hardwood floors flow through the main level with the exception of the recently remodeled kitchen, which has beautiful engineered laminate flooring. The 2nd floor features 2 spacious bedrooms and a full bath. Other recent improvements include a new roof, replaced in 2015, a new retaining wall that was installed in 2014 and smudge proof appliances that stay with the home. Also enjoy the nicely treed and fenced in backyard as you sit on the patio. This fantastic location is hard to beat as it's centrally located with a 10 minute drive to downtown or out west. Just a short walk to one of Des Moines' most iconic ice cream shops, Snookies!

Located in the desirable Beaverdale neighborhood is a two bedroom, one bath, one and a half story brick home. This must see is perfect for a small family or a family just starting out. Fall in love the Celtic style front door and the entryway with a separate door to the interior of the house. Once inside the entryway make your way upstairs or through one of the two arched doorways leading to the formal dining room and living room. Gorgeous hardwood flooring throughout the house and tons of storage in the kitchen are just a few of the many perks in this home. Master bedroom has an entrance to the small outside deck for little breath of fresh air. The stone patio and spacious, fenced in backyard is an ideal spot for kids and pets to burn off some energy. Within walking distance of all the shops and dining the Beaverdale area has to offer.
