About This Home

As of April 2023

A beautiful brick ranch located on the South Side of Des Moines. Pride runs deep in this home; overbuilt for its time, the joist system consists of concrete subflooring. It is meticulously maintained and updated throughout, with LVP flooring, new kitchen appliances, windows, and carpeting. Situated on a little over .60 acres, there's more than enough space for those who prefer an outdoor lifestyle. A newly added two-car detached garage is a great addition. On the interior, the plan flows effortlessly from the spacious kitchen to a family room that's bathed in natural light—a full bath or bath flanks two spacious guest bedrooms. Downstairs is a rec space with added bath, laundry room, a utility/ project room area, and an additional bedroom. There is a rear basement access door on this level for quick access to the backyard. Outside you'll find a patio space, a detached multitiered deck, a fully fenced yard, and storage shed. This home has so much to offer; come look today!
