Description

Don't let the 1939 build year fool you — this home has been updated where it counts and shows beautifully throughout.

A new roof installed in 2021 gives you peace of mind from day one. The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, a stylish tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range — a setup that would feel right at home in a much newer build.

Inside you'll find luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level, carpet in the bedrooms, a tray ceiling with ceiling fan in the living room, and large windows that bring in plenty of natural light. The layout offers three bedrooms on the main level, a full bath, and a bonus upper-level room perfect for a home office, creative studio, or kids playroom.

Outside, the dark charcoal siding gives this home genuine curb appeal, and the 1-car garage plus generous lot size give you room to breathe. The unfinished basement adds valuable storage and future potential.

Located in Indianola Hills on Des Moines' sought-after south side — minutes from Gray's Lake, downtown, and all the south side has to offer. Priced to move at $194,900. Schedule your showing today.

    "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."
