Agent Description

Packed with character and loaded with potential, this charming 1.5-story brick home on Des Moines' south side is ready for its next chapter. Inside you'll find 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, beautiful archways, a formal dining room flooded with natural light from an abundance of windows, and a versatile 3-season den that works perfectly as an additional family room or flex space.

Outside, enjoy a private courtyard, a 2-car detached garage, and an incredibly serene fully fenced backyard surrounded by mature trees.
