Description

Just blocks from the Des Moines Botanical Center and less than a half mile to The East Village sits this freshly updated two-bedroom, one-bathroom home. Stepping inside, a finished front porch area creates a cozy space for enjoying coffee and a book or creating a mudroom space. The living room on the main floor is huge and has new paint, trim, and flooring that flows into the adjacent kitchen. The L-shaped kitchen has plenty of storage space, a new range, and plenty of counter space for prepping family meals. A full bath, cozy, carpeted bedroom, and laundry room/mud room finish off the main floor. Upstairs, another large bedroom stretches the length of the home and includes a large closet. This could be an opportunity to create a dream master, design the ultimate home office, or set up a huge space for kids' bedrooms with a play area. This is a property with a lot of potential and an excellent income opportunity for a young family or young professional working downtown. All information obtained from Seller and public records.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
