Property Description

This charming bungalow on Des Moines’ South Side offers a perfect blend of warmth and convenience. This home hits the sweet spot when it comes to usable space both inside and out. The Interior is spacious & bright! Step inside to a large sun-drenched living room that flows naturally into an expansive eat-in kitchen. Unlike many bungalows, the layout here feels open and functional. With three comfortable bedrooms there is plenty of space for a home office, guest room, or additional family room area. There is also bonus space on the lower level offering a versatile footprint—perfect for a home gym, or a hobby cave. The lot is your private retreat. The property sits on a generous 0.26-acre lot. It’s flat, usable, and ready for a summer garden or your favorite outdoor games. The concrete pad has already been poured which adds up to big savings when it comes time to add a new garage. Conveniently located: You’re minutes away from downtown, the bypass, and I-235, with great trails at Pioneer Park and the local favorites of the South Side, all while maintaining a quiet, residential feel. The Details You’ll Love, Move-In Ready, Peace of Mind: Well-maintained mechanicals and systems throughout. Located in NFC green lending area, ask your lender how you could get up to $10,000 for home improvements! Why we love it: It’s rare to find a 3-bedroom home at this price point that has been this well-loved. From the large lot to the bright spaces , it offers a lot of house for the money.
