This inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom bungalow combines vintage charm with thoughtful updates and pride of ownership. The open floor plan welcomes you with plenty of natural light and a seamless flow from living to dining to kitchen. The kitchen has been upgraded with brand-new stainless steel appliances - including a gas stove and a dishwasher. The bathroom has been thoughtfully refreshed with a pedestal sink and classic penny tile, keeping with the home's original character. Both bedrooms share the full bathroom. Laundry is located in the unfinished, dry basement. Outside, step into the private, inviting backyard - the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining. A patio with concrete paver stepping stones sets the scene, while the fully fenced yard (wood privacy fence) ensures seclusion. The side yard offers plenty of space for a raised garden, making this outdoor area as functional as it is charming. The home is located on a quiet, private street with no through traffic and shares a driveway with the house to the south. Conveniently located with quick access to the interstate, this home makes it easy to get anywhere in the Des Moines metro within minutes.
