Updated bungalowBonus roomFamily room

Tucked into Des Moines, this updated bungalow offers 2 bedrooms and a full bath conveniently located on the main level, alongside a kitchen that has been thoughtfully updated for easy everyday living. The basement is fully finished, adding both a bonus room and a family room, giving you even more space to spread out, entertain, or make your own. A brand-new electrical panel is already in place, offering real peace of mind from day one. A brand-new front porch adds great curb appeal, and outside, the oversized 2-car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, projects, or extra storage, plus electricity already in place for added convenience, with an added parking pad next to the driveway for guests or additional vehicles. With this many updates already done for you, all that's left is to move in and enjoy.
