Nestled in the picturesque Chautauqua Park neighborhood of North Des Moines, this spacious 4-bedroom ranch offers comfort, character, and convenience. Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the flat backyard features a cozy fire pit and plenty of sunshine among the trees - perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Inside, the updated kitchen stands out with newer cabinetry, butcher block counters, and modern appliances. All four bedrooms are on the main level, including one just off the living room that easily transitions into a home office, playroom, study, or second living space. You'll enjoy a fireplace on each level, adding warmth and charm throughout the seasons. The lower level includes a 3/4 bath, a spacious family room, and a fifth non-conforming bedroom- ideal for guests, hobbies, or extra living space. Recent updates like new gutters, flooring, and a radon mitigation system offer peace of mind in this well-maintained home. Another bonus: a forgivable loan up to $10k for property repairs and improvement can be used as this home is in an NFC financing area.
