    What's special

    Some homes simply feel easy to love, and this thoughtfully updated Des Moines home is one of them. Offering two bedrooms, one bathroom and 720 square feet, it blends comfortable living, valuable improvements and an exceptionally rare three-car garage; all in a convenient central DSM location. The adorable, refreshed kitchen features new butcher block countertops, a new backsplash, newer appliances and a window above the sink overlooking the fully fenced backyard, complete with a patio and a quality storage shed for gardening supplies, tools and outdoor extras. The true showstopper is the three-car detached garage, a feature that is incredibly difficult to find in this neighborhood and price range. Updated in 2025 with a new roof and commercial-grade garage doors, the garage also includes a gas heater, pressurized air system and additional storage space in the attic; ideal for vehicles, hobbies, tools or weekend projects. Many of the home's major improvements have already been completed, including new windows, siding and a new roof in 2022, along with a newer sewer line and radon mitigation system. Updated lighting and electrical work, wood shelving in the closets, and added attic insulation with R-49 rating brings even more comfort, energy efficiency, and functionality throughout. Lovingly maintained and filled with thoughtful improvements, this home offers a wonderful combination of charm, practicality and hard-to-find garage space.
