What's special
Come check out this adorable bungalow in the heart of DSM! No work needed, just move in and live your life! Don't let the size fool you, the space has been used in a very smart layout and the kitchen has room for more than one bootie!! The home was completely renovated in 2018, so everything is just a few years old. The carpet was just replaced this spring, 2022. The front yard is fully fenced AND the back yard is fully fenced, so you have a place for the dog and the people! Enjoy summer evenings on the covered patio which is attached to the garage and cool evenings by the firepit (included). There is a garden space in the far corner of the backyard just waiting for you to grow your own food! Just a 10 minute drive to East Village and all that happens in downtown DSM. Contact your Realtor for a showing!
