Extensively renovated over the past two years, this two-story offers the character of an established neighborhood without the long list of projects! Major investments include a new roof on the home and detached garage (2024) gutters with LeafGuard (2024) updated electrical panel (2024) new windows including Pella double-hung windows and new HVAC (2025). Inside, the transformation goes beyond cosmetics. Walls were removed and a professionally installed steel beam created an open-concept main level. The redesigned kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a Bosch gas range, range hood, beverage refrigerator, reverse osmosis system and a picture window overlooking the backyard. Both bathrooms have been renovated, while LVP flooring, new carpet, updated lighting and professional interior and exterior paint complete the transformation. With over 2,000 finished sq ft, 4 bedrooms, a finished lower-level living area and nonconforming 5th bedroom, there's plenty of room to spread out. But one of this property's greatest features is outside! Nearly half an acre surrounded by mature trees and established greenery creates remarkable privacy in the heart of Des Moines. A new deck, stone patio with fire pit, fenced pet area with artificial turf and detached 2-car garage with new door openers complete the setting. The major investments have been made. The renovations are complete. All information obtained from seller and public records.
