About this home

Welcome to this charming 1950s home, boasting over 1,400 square feet of comfortable living space! As you step inside, you are greeted with hardwood floors throughout the main level, accented by white painted trim. The spacious living room welcomes an abundance of natural light through its large picture window. Adjacent to the living room, is a dining area with a trayed ceiling, creating an open and inviting space for gatherings. The dining area seamlessly flows into the kitchen. The main floor offers a bedroom that provides ease and accessibility, especially with the full bathroom nearby. Upstairs you'll discover two more bedrooms and a half bath. The lower level offers excellent storage along with the laundry area (washer and dryer stay with the home). You'll also find two versatile rec rooms that can be customized to suit your needs. Outside, you'll be delighted by the oversized, 2+ car garage, low-maintenance vinyl siding, a newer sewer line (replaced approximately 2011), and extra-wide lot that backs to green space. Home has an invisible fence. This home's location is convenient for shopping, walking distance to a park and a bus stop, and offers an easy commute to downtown Des Moines and the surrounding suburbs.
