Description

These sellers did something special with this property when they purchased it almost 6 years ago. They turned a small, 3 bed, 1 bath house into a very livable 3 bed, 2 bath home with a master suite at the back of the house! The hardwood floors are still in place in the original footprint. There is a new metal roof in place, and the back yard is MOSTLY fenced. There is still a concreate pad where there used to be a garage if the new owner wanted to add it back.
1506 E 16th St, Des Moines, IA 50316 is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,290 sqft single-family home in M.L. King Jr. Park, built in 1958. It last sold for the $155,000 asking price on Jun 25, 2025. More recently, it was listed as a rental in March 2023 with an asking price of $1,375 per month. That rental listing was removed on March 30, 2023. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $153,700, with a rent estimate of $1,680/month.
