UPDATED: You're going to love this charming, story-and-a-half, 3-bedroom home in an unbeatable location on the far West side of Des Moines. Great curb appeal on a quiet street lined with mature trees. Original hardwood floors that run throughout the main level with the exception of the kitchen and bathroom. The living room has plenty of windows to bathe the area in natural sunlight. Through an arched doorway from the living room, the dining room gives you access to an updated kitchen with new soft-close cabinetry and brand new updated kitchen floors, professionally installed waterproof luxury vinyl in 2020. All appliances included. The kitchen has back yard access to a large, covered patio with privacy fence. It's perfect for grilling and outdoor entertaining. Past the privacy fence and you'll appreciate all the mature trees providing fantastic shade in the summer. Back inside on the main floor, there are 2 nice-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The bathroom has been nicely updated with a pedestal sink, a tub/shower combination and wainscoting on the walls. On the upper level, you'll discover a large bedroom that includes an oversized walk in closet and newer carpet.
