## Description

### Agent Description
With NINE total bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this is a turnkey investment opportunity nestled on a nearly half-acre lot on Des Moines' desirable northwest side! Offering an impressive amount of living space, this property combines modern updates with functional layouts and endless possibilities. Recent improvements throughout both units include new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new carpet, fresh paint, and updated vanities in most bathrooms. The exterior features newer vinyl siding, recent foundation work, separate driveways for each side, and a detached two-car garage. The 2525 side offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a versatile upper-level bonus space featuring beautiful hardwood floors - perfect for a playroom, home office, hobby space, or additional living area. The 2527 side includes 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and features a recently updated kitchen. Inside the front entrance, each unit has its own dedicated mudroom closet storage, creating a practical and welcoming entryway. The expansive lot provides plenty of room to enjoy outdoor activities, gardening, or simply the privacy that comes with extra space. Whether you're looking for a multi-generational living arrangement, owner-occupancy with additional income potential, or a one-of-a-kind rental property, this duplex has it all. It's a rare opportunity! All information obtained from seller and public records.
