This classic craftsman 4 square home is nestled in one of Des Moines' fastest growing neighborhoods. As you enter the home you will love all the beautiful woodwork. Refinished hardwoods stretch through the living room & large dining room with awesome built-ins. The kitchen has been completely remodeled & opened up to the dining room giving a more open concept feel. Plenty of storage and stainless-steel appliances are also a huge plus. A 1/2 bath completes the first floor meaning your guests won't have to go far when entertaining. The 2nd floor features 4 large bedrooms w/ ample closets for a home of this age as well as the remodeled full bath. The finished attic adds extra living space & could also be used as another bedroom. Sitting just a few blocks from the nearly $100 million in development projects coming to the area in the next 3 years this is an opportunity to get in the neighborhood while it remains affordable.
