Striking curb appeal, natural light & well-chosen updates make this home a standout. The landscaped front yard offers both beauty & privacy, while large kitchen windows bring plenty of natural light indoors. The third bedroom adds wonderful flexibility with its own ensuite bath & sliding doors to the deck and fully fenced backyard-ideal as a primary suite, office, family room or guest space. Updates include roof, siding, gutters and exterior stone accents (2020), plus exterior lighting, front deck, widened driveway for additional parking, hot tub, spacious newer shed and newer living room flooring. The updated kitchen and bathrooms add a fresh feel, while the partially finished basement provides additional living space with a stone-wrapped bar and granite countertop. A home that's been thoughtfully improved and is ready to enjoy.
Lower Beaver, located between Beaver Avenue and the Des Moines River, is a residential and commercial Des Moines neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a working-corridor feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Beaver Avenue and Lower Beaver Road junction, where auto shops, small eateries, and everyday storefronts line the roadway. Brick one-and-a-half-story homes and tidy bungalows sit behind mature trees, while the main drag keeps things practical and active. The Des Moines River Greenbelt frames the east side with trail access and open views. Nearby, Big Creek State Park adds a larger outdoor backdrop beyond the neighborhood grid.
