About This Home
As of June 2026Welcome to 5260 Meredith Drive in Des Moines—a beautifully maintained townhome in the desirable Northwoods Townhomes community. This move-in-ready home shines with thoughtful updates and pride of ownership throughout. The spacious living room features large east-facing windows that flood the space with natural morning light, a cozy gas log fireplace, and a versatile closet perfect for use as a pantry. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with modern countertops, backsplash, sink, and flooring, creating a fresh and functional space for everyday living. There is also a main floor half bathroom. The dining area opens to a private back deck overlooking mature woods, offering a rare sense of seclusion while still being in the heart of the city. Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space, connected by a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom, along with second-floor laundry. The finished lower level adds approximately 560 square feet of additional living space—ideal for a home office, workout area, or mudroom with direct access to the attached two-car garage, complete with built-in shelving. Located just minutes from dining, shopping, and interstate access, and within the highly regarded Johnston Community School District, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and location.
