So much charm packed into this 3-bedroom central Des Moines home. The main floor features an updated kitchen with beautiful walnut countertops and matching open shelves with custom-made brackets to optimize the space. Original peaked doorways and hardwood floors in the living room add to the great character too. The second story dormer is finished with tons of storage space, lots of light and gives you endless possibilities. Then there are all the extra living spaces...The covered back deck is a perfect spot for entertaining and overlooks the beautifully planned natural landscaping. Native grasses, plants and flowers such as Bottlebrush grass and Columbine create a habitat for pollinators, birds, and butterflies, making a stunning, low maintenance yard for the owner. If that weren't enough, the home also has a partially finished basement, with a family room, laundry and more storage. The 2-car heated garage also has a climbing wall! This charming home won't last long!
