Property Description

Welcome home to this cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offering over 1,400 square feet of finished living space and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Let’s take a tour! You’ll start on the front deck and come through the cheerful sunroom (breezeway) that connects the attached 1-car garage to the home. Both the deck and sunroom are a great spot for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. As you come inside, you will find the main level featuring fresh updates, including new kitchen appliances. Bathroom has been updated, and bedrooms feature hardwood floors. Enjoy extra flexibility with a non-conforming bedroom or bonus living space in the partially finished basement—perfect for a guest room, office, or playroom. New washer and dryer also included for added convenience. We’ll finish outside as you step out to your fully fenced backyard on a .265-acre lot, complete with lush, well-maintained grass, and back of home has beautiful mature evergreen trees for privacy, plus a bonus shed for extra storage. Don’t miss your chance to own this delightful property in a peaceful South Des Moines neighborhood—where comfort, charm, and care all come together.
