About This Home

As of January 2022

This one-owner home in a prime West Des Moines location is looking for the next family to give it some love and make new memories. Well-preserved hardwood floors are under the carpet in the living room and all bedrooms. Some updates have been made in recent years such as new concrete in the garage and driveway, new AC in 2017, and a new electric panel. There is a bonus flex room on the main level that would make a great home office, kid s playroom or add a closet and you have a 4th bedroom. The basement is a walk-out and dry so has the potential for even more living space. Home is in an estate and being sold As-is.
