Just a couple blocks from Snookies Malt Shop and Witmer Park, this sunny bungalow puts you in the heart of one of Des Moines’ most loved neighborhoods.
Filled with natural light and hardwood floors, this home offers 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level. Expanding the living space, the 3-season porch is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind after work, or gather with friends.

Outside, a detached one-car garage provides additional storage or covered parking while the fully fenced backyard offers room to garden or let pets play while you unwind on the deck. An updated electrical service and panel (2026), along with a roof and HVAC replaced within the last 10 years, provide peace of mind.
Whether you’re looking for your first home or simply want to enjoy the Beaverdale lifestyle, this move-in ready bungalow is ready to welcome you home.
