About This Home

As of March 2022

Hard to find move in ready home on the Southside of Des Moines. GREAT opportunity for an investor or first time homebuyer. Many homes in this price point have SMALL bedrooms-- not this place. Both bedrooms on the main level each have generous space & guest room has new carpet. Home used to have a 3rd bedroom but instead took a wall out to create a quaint dining room-- which looks great with the original hardwood. Basement is partially finished-- accommodates storage space and could be fully finished if desired. Home is situated on 1/4 of an acre and the bulk of that is in the backyard, providing lots of space for entertaining. Outside you'll also find a spacious 2 stall detached garage (which also has a new roof). The opportunity this home has is pretty incredible-- a few TLC updates would take this home to the next level-- all major items being in tip top shape allow for that. Roof and siding are both under 2 years old.
