1300 40th St, Des Moines, IA 50311

This updated bungalow is located on Des Moines' popular west side a block away from the Uptown shopping area. Close access to I-235 - very close to both downtown and suburbs. The rich colors, refinished hardwood floors and many recent improvements make this a very comfortable home. The sun room/study, living room and dining room open into one another creating a spacious feel and also have southern exposure. The 1.75 bathrooms have either been recently updated or built. Amenities like a three-season porch, fenced-in backyard, wood blinds, central air, central humidifier and clean basement are a rare combination. Neighborhood Description Fortieth Street is quiet but connected to one of the primary east-west streets in the city (University Avenue). The house is a block away from University so there's plenty of distance from any street noise it might generate. Just over a block away from the house is a strip mall called "Uptown" on University. It includes a 24-hour grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shop, two restaurants, 24-hour fitness center, varied retail outlets and a convenience store. Uptown is situated on the corner of 42nd Street and University Avenue. The former (42nd) connects to I-235, only a half mile away. Downtown is approximately three miles east on I-235, and Des Moines gives way to the suburbs approximately three miles to the west. Near the intersection of 42nd Street and I-235 is another strip mall called the Shops at Roosevelt as well as the Des Moines Playhouse. Nearby is Hubbell Elementary and Roosevelt High School.
