Description

Solid bungalow, built in 1918, the home was remodeled in 2009 with new energy efficient windows and appliances. The floor plan was changed to improve live-ability, new kitchen cabinets and generous walk in closets in both bedrooms. Starting in 2010, improvements included a new parking pad and lower deck, privacy fences, extensive landscaping and a second 24 X 32 garage for storage. New gutters, storm door, entry door, lots of TLC. The 300 ft lot is surrounded by properties of the same size, giving the home a ?country? feel, while being less than 5 minutes from downtown Des Moines, Gray's Lake and the interstate. This home is PERFECT for the hobbyist, classic car or motorcycle enthusiast with a double driveway, generous parking and storage options. Home also features another 2 plus garage for storage new in the last few years and a deep, beautifully landscaped private lot!
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.

    "There are lots of dogs in the neighborhood. Therefore means there is barking. Don’t move to a dog friendly neighborhood if you don’t like that. Also loose dogs from time to time. Not a huge problem. "

    "Cheap neighborhood with a lot of issues. It is not the greatest neighborhood, but you can tell most of the people here do not care about its deteriorating value and culture. Cannot wait to move out of here next month."
