About this home
Welcome home to this 3-bedroom ranch in Des Moines Southeast, where character meets everyday convenience. Step inside to find a bright main level with luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh modern paint, and a refreshed kitchen featuring warm wood cabinetry, classic white subway tile backsplash, stainless refrigerator, range, microwave, and a sunny window above the deep double basin sink.
Three comfortable main level bedrooms share a full bath, while the finished lower level brings the wow factor.
