Description

This home has been meticulously maintained by the same family for 34 years!! This charmer is oozing with character!! Nestled on a quiet street less than a block away from Union Park and the Des Moines River Marina. The limestone landscaping creates a very serene setting in the large, private backyard. Near the back of the property, you will find a large concrete slab next to the oversized 2 car garage. HVAC and water heater are both updated and a 3/4 bathroom was recently added to the main level! Original hardwood floors throughout the entire home lead you through the formal dining room and the living room. Upstairs you will find a large newly remodeled primary bedroom with a huge walk in closet, a newly remodeled full bathroom, and two additional rooms. A full size attic with stair access and a huge unfinished basement is a blank pallet for whatever you can dream up!! Do not miss this absolute GEM!!!! All information obtained from seller and public records.

    "Wonderful older established affordable neighborhood. Nice trees, nice neighbors, nice homes. Most homes in the area have original woodwork, wood floors, built ins. The area is great for all; singles, couples, families, retirees. A great mix of ages. Low crime. My grandmother lived in this area for many years. My parents have owned three homes in the area over the years. Still a favorite area in East Des Moines. Close to downtown, restaurants, shopping, easy access to most main highways. Centrally located. Give it a look."

    "Union Park Neighborhoods bounty of older classic homes at affordable prices, it's proximity to the East Village, and the quality of life that an enormous public park with a variety of intended uses from biking and boating to strolling and a trip to perhaps the largest playground in Des Moines Boundaries, makes this area superb for folks who work down town and don't want to drive their car more than necessary. Overall, it's a very nice place to live. Like most other areas of Des Moines, the educational systems needs improvement. "
