About This Home
Welcome to this updated and move-in-ready Des Moines home full of thoughtful improvements and outdoor charm!
The owner added approximately 100 sq ft to expand the main living room, creating a more open and comfortable layout that feels spacious and inviting. The new front porch, topped with a durable tin roof, adds character and curb appeal while providing a cozy space to enjoy the outdoors. Out back, you'll find an entertainer's dream. A fully enclosed porch area connected to a shed that's been transformed into a private chill pad, complete with TV and mount for year-round relaxation. The property includes two sheds, both set on concrete and enclosed within fencing, perfect for private gatherings or extra storage.
The owner also laid additional concrete for ample parking, re-leveled the yard for safety and easy maintenance, and enhanced the landscaping to make the space both practical and beautiful. This home blends creativity, comfort, and functionality. Move-in-ready with all the extras already in place for you to enjoy!
