About This Home

Welcome to 1444 55th St in Des Moines! This cozy 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a great blend of comfort, updates, and opportunity. Fresh interior paint throughout gives the home a clean, move-in ready feel, while new flooring in both bathrooms and the finished portion of the basement adds modern touches where it counts. Major updates have already been taken care of, including a new roof on both the home and the garage in 2024, giving peace of mind for years to come. Step outside to enjoy the brand-new back deck, built in 2025—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Previously used as a rental property, this home presents a solid investment opportunity, or an ideal starter home for anyone looking to build equity.
