It's not often that you see a home that has been one family since it was built. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath ranch on a large lot in northwest Des Moines is a must see! Step inside to a bright front porch that doubles as a cozy sitting area or home office. The main level features the two bedrooms and one full bathroom, an eat-in kitchen, laundry for added convenience, and updated windows throughout most of the home. Walk out the french doors to the large deck that also has a gas line for your grill. A newer roof (2019) brand-new AC unit (2024), and new electrical panel provide peace of mind. Outside, enjoy the spacious yard with a one-car detached garage. Great location with easy access to schools, parks, shopping, and more. Check in with your Realtor for a list of all the updates the seller has made throughout the years, showcasing the pride in homeownership.
