About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to this charming 1958 bungalow in the heart of West Des Moines. This 3-bed, 2-bath gem has been thoughtfully updated while keeping its original charm intact. With 916 sq ft on the main floor and a finished lower level, this home offers more space than you'd expect - bright, open, and ready to make you feel right at home. Curb appeal shines with a new roof, fresh siding, and updated windows - giving the home a crisp modern look with long-term peace of mind. Inside, the main floor welcomes you with a light-filling living room, cozy dining space, and a fully remodeled kitchen featuring LVP wood flooring, new stainless appliances, stylish cabinety, updated countertops, and a trendy tile backsplash. Original hardwood floors are ready to be brought back to life, offering a classic touch for those who appreciate vintage detail. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, while the bright lower level includes a third bedroom, 3/4 bath, laundry, and ample storage. Lovingly updated by its current owners, this home is move-in ready and just waiting for someone to pick up where they left off. Located minutes from everything Des Moines has to offer, this one is full of heart, history, and potential!
