    What's special

    Beautiful bungalow-style home on Des Moines' southside filled with character and charm while also boasting timeless updates throughout. As you walk through the front porch, you'll step into the living room that boasts a large fireplace with hearth. It's the perfect spot for coffee in the morning or movies at night. Off the main living area, you'll find two bedrooms anchored by the updated bathroom. But wait, it gets better. As you head into the kitchen, you will love the high quality, updated (and bright!) white kitchen. It's the heart of the home and it's a place that you will love to make memories in. Step out the back of the kitchen and you'll find even more living space that's perfect for a dining table or just a flex room. Outside the home you'll appreciate the large deck and driveway to make entertaining guests easy! We said there's more. There is. Check out the garage! It's 24'x30' with 9-ft ceilings, PLUS it's heated AND cooled which leads to boundless opportunities there. Make it a gym, a shop, a bar or just use it for parking your vehicles. Either way, it's just icing on the beautiful cake that is this home! All information obtained from seller and public records.
