About This Home

Take advantage of a compelling income-producing opportunity with this well-maintained duplex in the historic "Dog Patch" neighborhood of Northwest Des Moines. Offering two identical units, this property is ideal for investors or owner-occupants seeking both comfort and cash flow. Each unit features a thoughtfully designed floor plan. One unit has been recently updated with new flooring, and modern finishes, while the second was refreshed just four years ago—providing a strong balance of immediate appeal and long-term value. The location is a standout, positioned just east of Merle Hay Road and south of I-80, offering quick access to Johnston and a wide array of shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences found along the Merle Hay Road corridor. Inside, both units welcome you with spacious living rooms featuring durable Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring and cozy wood-burning stoves—perfect for Iowa winters. Sliding glass doors lead to treated wood decks, creating an inviting indoor-outdoor flow. The formal dining rooms provide ample space for entertaining and connect seamlessly to updated galley-style kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances, all included. A convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, each unit offers a comfortable primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, a second bedroom, and a full bathroom—designed for practical living and tenant appeal. The lower-level walk-out basements are clean, dry, and versatile, featuring painted floors and partially finished walls—ideal for a home gym, workshop, or additional storage. Each unit includes in-unit laundry, with washers and dryers included, and direct backyard access. Outside, tenants will enjoy a large, level backyard and a detached garage with separate single-car stalls for each unit—adding both convenience and value. Comprehensive financial details are available from the current owner. Don’t miss your chance to secure a strong investment in a prime location—schedule your showing today.
