With 1,522 square feet, four bedrooms, one full bath and one half bath, this home offers distinctive architectural details and flexible living space close to neighborhood shops, dining and American Legion Park. The welcoming covered front porch sets the tone. Inside, built-in bookshelves bring character to the family room, while the dining area's built-in bench adds another memorable detail. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are located on the main level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a half bath and an open flex area offer options for working from home, hobbies or guest accommodations. Outside, enjoy the large concrete pad, fenced yard and detached one-car garage. The unfinished basement provides laundry and additional storage space. The roof, siding and gutters have been updated within the last year. Ask for details on the improvements and dates, along with available information about the home's other major systems. Just three blocks from the Valley Junction shopping district and less than a block from American Legion Park, this home combines historic character with convenient access to local amenities. Explore the floor plan, see how the flexible spaces fit your needs, and schedule a private showing. ## Location - **Address:** 517 2nd Street, West des Moines, IA 50265 - **County:** Polk - **Coordinates:** 41.576164, -93.704345 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.576164,-93.704345 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Dakota Cannon - **Brokerage:** Realty ONE Group Impact - **Broker Phone:** (515) 446-7524 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/517-2nd-St_West-Des-Moines_IA_50265_M84018-46539?f=listhub&s=DMAARIA&m=751370&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![517 2nd Street - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f726802239r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f403819015r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f403819015r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f1353322942r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f3674948089r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f2425508365r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f2968500569r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f2966509748r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f1809386964r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f299886235r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f3240285151r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f1643770828r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f2775371994r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f4174927789r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f3928519681r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f439975014r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f3378168387r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f256837180r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f1568675863r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f2959998642r.jpg) ![517 2nd Street - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/d66cf208fc2917da6a15fa966427b7a5l-f2450962818r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 751370 | **Updated:** 2026-11-01 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Des Moines Area Association of REALTORS®, Inc.
