About This Home
As of April 2025Welcome home to this beautiful craftsman bungalow in NW Des Moines, centrally located and caddy corner to Waveland Golf Course! At first glance, you'll notice the skillfully constructed landscaping, which offers so much curb appeal. The enclosed porch not only provides a great seat to enjoy your morning coffee but also serves as a drop zone before entering. From the original hardwood floors to the oversized baseboards and period-style curved archways, you will be immersed in character as you enter the home! The 1st floor has a good-sized living room, formal dining room & kitchen with new appliances, as well as a bathroom and 2 bedrooms. From the dining room, you can head out the slider to the 520 sq.ft. deck! This gorgeous addition to the home offers the best area to entertain with room for multiple seating areas, grilling and outdoor storage. Off the kitchen, you'll find another drop zone as you head downstairs or out back. Downstairs you'll find a 3/4 bath, laundry area, tuck-under garage, a storage room and a great workshop space. The 2nd floor consists of a 3rd bedroom, sitting area and oversized closet - which could even provide a future bathroom! Don't miss this one! All information obtained from Seller and public records.
