Don’t let the numbers fool you — this home lives larger than it looks on paper.
Welcome to 243 Hart Avenue, a well-loved-for ranch in Des Moines’ 50315 zip code with updates that make it move-in ready and flexible spaces that let you make it your own.
Inside, the kitchen has been refreshed with stainless steel appliances, painted cabinetry, and lvp flooring. The floor plan is thoughtfully laid out so that each room flows easily into the next, creating a home that feels spacious and bright.
The roof & siding were done last year, giving you peace of mind as a new homeowner.
Downstairs, the partially finished basement provides room to grow — whether for the 4th non-conforming bedroom, family room, office, or hobby space — with plenty of opportunity to customize.
Outside, you’ll find a large yard with mature trees, a cozy spot to sit out front, and an oversized two-car garage that offers both parking and storage.
Located close to schools, shopping, interstate, bypass and parks, this home combines comfort, convenience, and value.
