Property Description

Welcome home to your own little retreat on the south side of Des Moines. Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this charming bungalow sits on nearly an acre — complete with an extra lot — giving you room to spread out while still enjoying the comfort of home. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by warm hardwood floors and a cozy layout that makes you feel instantly at ease. With main-level laundry and a basement for extra storage, everyday living is simple and convenient. The updated windows, doors, and electrical (2020) bring peace of mind, while the oversized two-car garage and brand-new sheds (2024) give you space for hobbies, projects, and all your gear. Outside is where this property really shines. Imagine sipping coffee on the back deck while the sun rises over your garden, or watching kids and pets play safely in the partially fenced yard. The two large sheds provide endless possibilities — from a workshop to extra storage — and the expansive garden space is ready for your touch. Whether you’re starting out, downsizing, or simply looking for a place with land and privacy, this home offers the perfect balance of cozy charm and wide-open possibility.
