    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 important upgrades for peace of mind 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 tons of counter space—perfect for cooking, hosting, and everyday life. Even better, there's a walk-in door right off the driveway that leads straight into the kitchen, making things like bringing in groceries and getting in and out of the house incredibly convenient. A true, spacious dining area sits nearby, and the very large living room gives you all the space you need 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, complete with a walk-in closet and a spacious dual-vanity bathroom. Each bedroom also offers excellent closet space, giving you the storage you'll actually use. Downstairs, a large basement provides plenty of storage and extra space for whatever you need. And out back, the large backyard really shines, a wide-open space for grilling out, playing, letting the dog run, or simply enjoying a little extra breathing room. You'll also have a detached 2-car garage and a long driveway for extra parking. With sharp white-and-black curb appeal and modern finishes throughout, this home is centrally located, close to everything, and just minutes from all Beaverdale has to offer.
