This craftsman bungalow on the SW side of Des Moines offers the perfect blend of character and comfort, with thoughtful updates that provide peace of mind for the next owner. Featuring two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main level, this home showcases beautiful hardwood floors and original wood trim throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, and vintage feel in the kitchen. The enclosed front porch is perfect for a quiet morning coffee, while the spacious backyard features a large deck, built in 2021, and a privacy fence added in 2023, making it ideal for outdoor gatherings. Downstairs, the unfinished basement includes a laundry area and a convenient half-bath setup. A one-car garage completes the property. Many valuable updates made since 2018—improvements that will benefit the next owner as well. The roof, gutters, and downspouts were replaced on both the house and garage, along with a repoured driveway properly sloped away from the home. Much of the plumbing and electrical has been modernized, and the home features a newer hot water heater, Trane furnace and AC, and Maytag washer and dryer. The windows have also been upgraded, enhancing both energy efficiency and curb appeal. The location offers great nearby amenities and local favorites like Fleur Cinema, Skip’s, Francie’s, and Mayalu Coffee, plus three grocery stores and a neighborhood park getting major updates! If you’re looking for a home with character, charm, and major updates already taken care of,this is it.
