Wonderful opportunity to own this two bedroom, two bathroom ranch home situated near the historic Beaverdale Neighborhood. As you enter, you are greeted by an open living room with beautiful hardwood floors and lots of windows allowing for plenty of natural light. As you continue, there is the dining room off the gorgeous kitchen with an abundance of cupboards and cabinets, ceramic tiled floor and counter tops and all appliances included. On the back side of the house is a 20 x 12 addition for additional living space with large windows overlooking the scenic view of the deep, secluded tree lined lot that attracts deer, birds and other wildlife. If that isn't enough the basement is finished with an additional bathroom and wet bar, potential for 3rd non-conforming bedroom. Additional features include newer vinyl windows, newer furnace and newer central air. The location is great with quick access to downtown Des Moines. All information obtained from Seller & public records.
