Cute little bungalow in the heart of Des Moines. Walk into a living room with great natural light. The hard wood floors are beautiful and span into the 2 bedrooms. The bathroom has been updated and it very bright and clean. The kitchen has a little island between the living room which makes for more of an open concept feel. There is a backdoor off the kitchen that leads to a beautiful new deck and a fenced backyard. The one car garage has electricity and is just a few short steps from the back door.
This completely updated , immaculate, all brick Beaverdale ranch is perfectly located near, schools, restaurants, shopping and more. You will be able to move right in because all the work has been done!. Enjoy the recently remodeled kitchen featuring maple cabinetry and updated appliances. The bathroom has been fully remodeled with high-end finishes. You can relax on the 200 plus sqft deck that is shaded perfectly, overlooking a large, well manicured backyard. Everything is set up for entertaining! This home is sure to impress!
