## Description

### Agent Description
Located in one of Des Moines' most charming and established neighborhoods, this classic 2-story home on Forestdale Drive blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Built in 1919 and offering over 2,400 square feet of living space above grade, this 4 bedroom home features the warmth and craftsmanship buyers love, including hardwood floors, a formal living room, and a dedicated dining space perfect for entertaining. The updated kitchen is a standout with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and improved functionality while still complementing the home's original charm. Upstairs, you'll find a beautifully updated bathroom along with the convenience of second-floor laundry and a 2nd full bathroom. The finished attic provides excellent flexibility for a fourth bedroom, office, or playroom. Outdoor living is just as inviting with a screened-in porch and brick patio, ideal for relaxing or hosting. A rare 2-car attached garage with workshop space and a finished walkout lower level adds even more value and usability. Situated in a highly desirable, tree-lined neighborhood known for its character and location, this home offers quick access to parks, schools, and all the amenities of the metro while maintaining a quiet, established feel that's hard to find.
