Beautifully renovated 2 bed, 1 bath house in northwest Des Moines, between Beaverdale and Merle Hay Mall. This meticulously remodeled home will be low maintenance for years to come. Updates include new carpet, remodeled bathroom, fresh paint (exterior & interior), new blinds, and new roof in 2019. Recent improvements to the kitchen are new laminate flooring, countertops, sink, faucet, and freshly painted cabinets. This cozy bungalow is conveniently located within a few minutes many choices for shopping, restaurants, and easy interstate access.
Sold "As Is", no repairs will be made. Fixer upper in great Northwest location. Almost 1/2 acre, lot priced much less than assessed value. Good challenge with much potential. Please call Paula 975-8234.
