About This Home

Stop renting and start building equity in this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offering comfort, space, and convenience just minutes from everything Des Moines has to offer. Perfect for first-time buyers, this move-in-ready home features major updates already completed for you, including newer windows, siding, and driveway, along with fresh interior paint, updated flooring, and a completely remodeled kitchen finished just two weeks ago with brand-new appliances. Both bathrooms have been updated within the last six months, providing modern style and functionality throughout. The main level offers a bright and spacious living area filled with natural light, plus a kitchen, dining space, laundry/mudroom, and full bathroom designed for easy everyday living. Upstairs you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms and an additional bathroom, offering plenty of room to grow, work from home, or host guests. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard with a covered patio—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying time with kids and pets in a quiet neighborhood. The property also offers exceptional storage with three outdoor sheds, two with electricity. The garage is currently set up as a home gym but can easily convert back to a single-car garage. A 13-month HWA Platinum Home Warranty is included, providing peace of mind and making this an incredible opportunity to own instead of rent.
