Property Description

Welcome to this charming, move-in ready bungalow nestled in an established east Des Moines neighborhood! Full of character and thoughtfully maintained, this spacious home offers 3 bedrooms (plus a non-conforming 4th bedroom), 2 bathrooms, an open-concept living and dining area, and main-level laundry. One of the home's standout features is the spacious addition, currently used as an extended cooking and food-preparation area. With soaring wood ceilings, a cozy wood-burning fireplace and valuable overflow space beyond the main kitchen, it offers endless possibilities for cooking, hosting, entertaining, hobbies, or creating the gathering space you've always envisioned. Outside, you'll find a partially fenced patio, a spacious backyard, an existing chicken coop, and a long, double-width driveway providing plenty of off-street parking. Whether you're relaxing, entertaining, gardening, or creating your own outdoor retreat, this property offers space to make it your own. Conveniently located near downtown Des Moines, shopping, dining, parks, and major roadways, this one-of-a-kind home is ready for its next owners to make lasting memories!
