Move-in ready with the big-ticket items already handled — roof, AC, furnace, and water heater were all updated in 2019, so you're buying peace of mind along with the home. This Des Moines home has been thoughtfully updated throughout. The main level is the star, with a completely refreshed kitchen featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a mosaic backsplash, and new flooring throughout. Just off the kitchen, a dining space overlooks large bay windows. The main level also includes a primary bedroom with a private half bath, plus an oversized enclosed front porch that flexes as a home office, sitting room, or playroom — you decide. Upstairs, two large bedrooms share an oversized full bathroom with plenty of room for everyone. Out back is where this one really stands out: a oversized lot gives you significantly more space than a typical city lot, with room to spread out, entertain, or eventually add a garage, shed, or extra parking — the kind of flexibility that's hard to find this close to the city. A nice-sized deck is already in place for enjoying the warmer months right away. Updated systems, refreshed finishes, and a double lot with real potential — schedule your showing today.
