    What's special

    Welcome home to where modern updates meet classic neighborhood charm — and where it’s genuinely hard to find this much space at this price point in Des Moines. This 2-story, 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers over 2,000 sq ft and has been remodeled head to toe with all-new paint, new flooring, new doors, plus key upgrades including new PVC plumbing and some new electrical outlets. Step inside and you’ll love how bright and inviting it feels, thanks to the many windows that bring in great natural light throughout. The brand-new kitchen features modern cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large pantry, and plenty of counter space. A walk-in door from the driveway straight into the kitchen makes everyday life—like bringing in groceries—quick and easy. A true dining area sits nearby, and the large living room gives you room to relax or entertain. The layout is practical and flexible with a main-floor bedroom and main-floor bathroom, plus three bedrooms upstairs, including a primary suite that’s bigger than you’ve ever seen with a walk-in closet and dual-vanity bathroom. Each bedroom also offers excellent closet space. Downstairs, a large basement provides plenty of storage. Out back, enjoy a big backyard, along with a detached 2-car garage and long driveway for extra parking. With sharp white-and-black curb appeal and a central location, you’re just minutes from all Beaverdale has to offer — close to shops, dining, and more.
