About this home

This 3 bedroom home with over 1,350 square feet of total finish, features windows overlooking a private, wooded lot. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience with quick access to the Beaverdale area. In 2017, the exterior was updated with new metal roofs on house and garage and a new concrete driveway. Inside, the kitchen received new granite countertops and the bathroom got a new shower surround. Then the exterior benefited from a new privacy fence in 2020, and just last year a new backyard patio and new front landscaping. Inside, both the house and the garage received new vinyl windows in 2025, and the garage opener was updated earlier this year. The 500 square feet of finished space in the walk-out lower level includes two nicely sized bedrooms, a family room, and a mud room.

About

Martin-Hickman

Martin-Hickman, located between Martin Luther King Jr Parkway and Fleur Drive, is a residential and civic Des Moines neighborhood with a river-edge setting and a campus-like streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Iowa State Capitol complex, where broad lawns, formal steps, and steady foot traffic set a ceremonial tone. Brick institutional buildings and older homes share the grid, with long sightlines toward downtown. The State Historical Museum of Iowa and the Des Moines Civic Center add a cultural backbone nearby. Trails and open greens along the Des Moines River shape daily routines and weekend wandering.
