About This Home
Beautifully maintained south side duplex. This owner demonstrates their love of investment properties and pride of ownership in how well cared for these units are. New gutters and gutter guards and new vinyl siding are just a few of the recent updates made to keep this property in tip-top shape. Each unit is currently on its own parcel, but they must be sold together. Both have 2 very large bedrooms and 1 spacious bathroom upstairs, and an eat-in kitchen, living room, 1/2 bathroom and laundry space on the main level. Outside you'll find that both units have an oversized detached 1 car garage and their own large, separately fenced backyard. This property is perfect for dipping your toes into investment properties with a house-hack or for the seasoned investor who wants to add a long-term rental to their portfolio. Conveniently located close to parks, schools, restaurants, Wakonda Club and Des Moines Airport access. Only 6 minutes to Downtown. Don't miss your chance!
