Have you been dreaming of the opportunity of living in Sawyer's Landing (one of the BEST neighborhoods in Des Moines and is also w/ in JOHNSTON SCHOOL DISTRICT). Here is YOUR chance to own a home that is primely positioned in the middle of a very KID-FRIENDLY double cul-de-sac block (w/ extremely low driveby traffic). This beautiful 1 previous owner home has 3BR, 2.5BA, fin bsmt and sits on a fenced-in lot that backs to the woods. Upon arrival you will fall in love with the covered balcony that you notice on the front of the home that is perfectly perched off of the master suite (great for watching the sunrise & sunset). The open concept of the 1st flr is perfect for entertaining guests. All appliances will stay in the lovely kitchen that was recently updated with tiled backsplash and QUARTZ on the countertops and large island. Sit out back on the oversized deck and watch the kids enjoy their new playset. The large shed will be just right for all of your tools & toys! Won't last long!!
