About this home

Welcome home to 4217 E 48th St. This spacious two-story home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and plenty of room to spread out, offering both interior space and exterior privacy. The main level features new LVP flooring and a functional layout with a gas fireplace anchoring the living room. Upstairs, you’ll find all three bedrooms, while the finished basement adds even more living space with an additional family room and an impressive amount of storage—more than you typically find in a two-story home. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced, tree-lined backyard that offers plenty of privacy and room to relax or entertain. Located in the Southeast Polk School District, just 3 minutes from Altoona shopping + dining and only 10 minutes from downtown Des Moines, you get a great combination of space, privacy, and convenience.
