About This Home

As of June 2023

Beautiful, incredibly well-built home in the heart of the action of central Iowa. So much to love about this home, inside and out. This all brick home features a gorgeous, private backyard which is fully fenced, with an adorable kid-size doll house, open patio area, and storage shed. Mature trees provide perfect shade. Inside this home seems to expand with space! The front living room has a large picture window overlooking the front yard with open space into the dining area. All three bedrooms are located very close to the full bathroom. The dining area is fully opened to the large updated kitchen. Tons of counter space in the kitchen with an additional island. The feature of the main floor may be the back living room. A HUGE space built for entertaining with the bar style seating that opens up to the rest of the house. Literally minutes walking distance from grocery stores, restaurants and a shopping center. Easy access to the freeway keeps you close to Downtown Des Moines and the West suburbs.
