This home is situated in the coveted Southwestern Hills area of the SW side of Des Moines and there are very few options currently available at this price point. Uber convenient location to get downtown, Valley Junction or out West with ease. This split foyer has a recent exterior painting update that really produced a clean finish on the unique elevation. The easterly facing front of the home features a cozy courtyard finished in brick and clean landscaping that will greet you at the entrance. Inside, you will find 2 levels of finished space, with 3 bedrooms, 1 3/4 baths on the main level and another bedroom and a 1/2 bath finishing out the lower. The main has a huge open living space flowing into a dining/secondary sitting area that is adjacent to the kitchen and eat-in area. Down the hallway you’ll find the bedrooms and full bath before reaching the primary bedroom and en-suite bath. Downstairs, again, you will find a large living area which opens to the backyard from the walk-out slider. Another good sized bedroom, 1/2 bath, laundry, mechanicals, multiple storage options, and a 2 car attached garage complete the level. The backyard is fenced in and has a storage shed, the perfect spot for any lawn equipment. This home has been well cared for by the current owner and is move in ready.
