Welcome to Beaverdale and this charming bungalow. Enjoy the lovely front porch and swing as you take in the sites and sounds of the neighborhood. Upon entering the home you will notice how open it is, with a large living area, spacious dining area, and open kitchen. The hallway leads to two bedrooms and one full bath. Notice all of the closet storage! Upstairs is one large area, technically a third bedroom, but could be used in any way that you choose. The lower level is also very useable as it is clean, inviting, well lit, and DRY! The lower level has been professionally waterproofed around 3 sides. There is a nonconforming fourth bedroom and a lovely 3/4 bath, along with laundry and plenty of storage. The garage is larger than your average 1 car (1.5 car), and has upper storage space as well. The rear deck has just been stained and the yard boasts red & black raspberry bushes, a strawberry patch, and lots of rhubarb. The driveway is long giving you lots of parking for your toys and guests. Don't miss out!
Beaverdale, located between Beaver Avenue and Merle Hay Road, is a residential and walkable Des Moines neighborhood with brick “Beaverdale Brick” homes and a leafy, hill-and-hollow streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Beaver Avenue near Urbandale Avenue, where coffee counters, a classic barbershop feel, and small storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. The Beaverdale Tap and The Slow Down Coffee Co. act as familiar anchors for casual meetups and weekend routines. Streets curve past tidy lawns and mature trees, and many houses feature steep gables and arched doorways. Drake University and the Des Moines River corridor sit nearby, shaping a bike-and-stroll lifestyle without changing Beaverdale’s calm cadence.
