About This Home
As of March 2025This beautiful home is nestled in the tall oak trees of the coveted Waterbury neighborhood in Des Moines. Unlike many old Des Moines homes, this one features a 3 car heated garage. The lot is almost a half acre and has ample parking for guests off the alley. The dead end street equates to less car traffic. The moment you walk in the home, you'll revel in the character of the arched doorways, hardwood floors, elegant built-ins and crown molding. The exquisite dining room and living room flank the beautiful front entry. The main floor also features a sun room perfectly designed for you and a good book. You'll love the den with tall ceilings, beams, wet bar and gas fireplace. It's the perfect place to entertain guests or enjoy a cozy winter night. The character and hardwood floors extend to the upper level with 3 nicely-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. Basement makes an excellent work out room and even has a shower!The current seller has meticulously cared for the home for 20 years.
