Welcome to this lovely 1937 home where timeless character meets thoughtful updates! While hardwood floors, crown molding, built-in storage, and original crystal doorknobs highlight the craftsmanship of the era, a spacious living room and generously sized bedrooms make the home feel comfortable and inviting. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, and the impressive finished attic creates an oversized third bedroom with plenty of room to make it your own. Downstairs, the full basement provides excellent storage and additional possibilities. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard and detached one-car garage. Newer mechanicals add peace of mind, while the home still offers opportunities for future improvements and added equity. Move in and enjoy it today, then make it your own over time! Ideally located in Beaverdale just blocks from the Waveland Golf Course and near the heart of Beaverdale, with convenient access to shopping, dining, recreation and more. This home is in an NFC Financing AND Invest DSM neighborhood.

Beaverdale, located between Beaver Avenue and Merle Hay Road, is a residential and walkable Des Moines neighborhood with brick “Beaverdale Brick” homes and a leafy, hill-and-hollow streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Beaver Avenue near Urbandale Avenue, where coffee counters, a classic barbershop feel, and small storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. The Beaverdale Tap and The Slow Down Coffee Co. act as familiar anchors for casual meetups and weekend routines. Streets curve past tidy lawns and mature trees, and many houses feature steep gables and arched doorways. Drake University and the Des Moines River corridor sit nearby, shaping a bike-and-stroll lifestyle without changing Beaverdale’s calm cadence.
