Description

This property is an excellent opportunity for those looking for a versatile space that can either serve as a starter home or a profitable AirBNB. The property has been completely gutted, providing the perfect blank canvas for your unique decorating touch. The cozy 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom space make it an ideal living situation for a single person or a couple. One of the most enticing aspects of this property is the private backyard, which provides a wonderful outdoor space to relax and unwind. The location is also incredibly convenient, as it is in close proximity to various amenities, including popular fast-food restaurants like McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts, as well as the budget-friendly grocery store Aldi's. Another advantage of this property is its close proximity to major roads, specifically 235, which makes getting around the area easy and stress-free. Additionally, it's only a quick 5-minute drive to downtown Des Moines, which is home to an array of entertainment and cultural offerings. With its excellent location, private backyard, and convenient access to various amenities and major roads, it's a must-see for anyone looking for a versatile living space. 13 Mo HWA Platinum Home Warranty included!

    "We are friendly with several of our neighbors, we have BBQ'S or have snacks with a few of them. They look out for our place, as we look out for theirs. We definitely watch the "druggies" that come and go from one house across the alley from us."

    "I've lived here for almost 3 years with a friend. It's a crowded house, but we all love this neighborhood. There was only a few incidents that had me concerned, but they seem to have been isolated. Neighbors tend to look out for each other here, like the old days."
