Welcome to 2900 48th Place, tucked into one of Des Moines’ most convenient and quietly established neighborhoods. This home delivers the kind of livability buyers actually want—solid layout, functional spaces, and a location that makes daily life easier. Inside, you’ll find comfortable living areas with natural light, a practical flow from room to room, and spaces that feel easy to settle into without feeling boxed in. The kitchen and main living areas connect well, making everyday routines and casual entertaining feel natural, not forced. The bedrooms offer flexibility—whether that’s space to spread out, work from home, or simply shut the door and unplug. Outside, the yard provides room to relax, garden, or gather, without the burden of excessive maintenance. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, parks, and major routes, this home strikes the balance between neighborhood calm and city access. It’s the kind of property that works whether you’re buying your first home, downsizing into something manageable, or looking for a smart long-term hold. Simple. Solid. Well-located.

Here’s your shot at a great investment or a fixer-upper to make your own. This 2 bed, 1 bath home sits on a corner lot and features a 1-car attached garage, a fully fenced yard, and a solid foundation—the bones are good, but the rest of the house needs work. Whether you're an investor looking for your next project or a buyer who’s handy and wants to build sweat equity, this one’s priced to move. It will be sold as-is, and at $57,000 below the assessed value, there’s a lot of potential upside here.
