About This Home
Walkable charm meets thoughtful updates in this beautifully maintained Valley Junction Bungalow. Just blocks from the heart of Historic Valley Junction, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers over 2,000 total square feet & a lifestyle that's hard to beat. Inside, you'll find 10-foot ceilings, refinished original hardwood floors, and preserved trim that adds character throughout. The main level has been reimagined with an open floor plan ideal for entertaining, featuring a spacious living area, a large updated bathroom and a bright kitchen with a window over the sink overlooking the fully fenced backyard. A cozy front porch and oversized, 3-season sunroom offer even more space to relax and unwind. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds incredible flexibility with room for a third bedroom or second living area, plus generous storage. The home has been meticulously cared for with major updates already done—new vinyl windows throughout, fresh siding and paint, a two-year-old roof, new gutters, a tankless water heater, and a radon mitigation system. A large storage shed with alley access offers potential for a one-car garage, and the driveway is accessible from both the front and back. Enjoy unbeatable proximity to local restaurants, bars, boutiques, and the beloved Thursday night farmers markets. This is more than just a home—it's a chance to be part of a charming, walkable West Des Moines community, all for just $215,000.
