    What's special

    Welcome home! This West Des Moines charmer boasts two full bathrooms, two bedrooms on the main floor and a bonus room on the lower lever (add an egress and you have a 3rd bedroom). The home has laundry hookups on both the main level as well as in the basement, so you can customize to your preference. The vintage light fixture and corner built-ins in the formal dining room give it a unique charm. In the kitchen, take a peek at the meticulously maintained original Sears metal cabinets for more of that vintage nostalgia. Outside, you can enjoy your morning coffee on the shaded front deck. Downstairs you'll find an additional family room, a full bathroom, and a workshop equipped with fan ventilation. All of this on a spacious and almost fully fenced flat lot with an oversized 2-car garage and an additional storage shed! Walking distance to Fairmeadows Elementary School, Fairmeadows Park, and just a short trek to freeways, shopping, dining, bike trails, and more.
