About This Home

Charming and well-maintained 3-bedroom home in a highly convenient West Des Moines location! This inviting property blends classic character with thoughtful updates, featuring hardwood floors throughout the main level (currently with carpet in most rooms) and new LVP flooring in the kitchen for a fresh, functional touch. The updated full bath offers a tile surround, new vinyl flooring, and a modern vanity. Upstairs, the finished attic provides a versatile third bedroom or flex space, complete with ample closet storage and cozy carpeting. Enjoy additional living space in the partially finished lower level—perfect for a rec room, workout area, or home office. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers privacy and room to play or entertain, complemented by a concrete patio for outdoor gatherings. The low-maintenance vinyl siding and newer roof (2023) add peace of mind, while the detached 1-car garage provides convenient storage and parking. Ideally situated near Fairmeadows Elementary, parks, trails, and with quick interstate access, this home delivers both comfort and convenience at an approachable price point. A great opportunity for owner-occupants or investors alike!
