Fall in love with this Southwestern Hills ranch that offers the best of both worlds, peaceful living with quick access to everything Des Moines has to offer. You'll love the easy access to everywhere you want to be, whether it's Gray's Lake, Water Works Park, Valley Junction, or the airport, all within just a few minutes' drive. Inside, the home is fresh and move-in ready thanks to a full renovation in 2017. Large windows fill the rooms with natural light, and thoughtful updates like newer HVAC, roof, and fencing mean you can move in with confidence. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there's space for everyone to spread out, and the lower level's separate entrance opens the door for a flexible space perfect for guests, a home office, or hosting family and friends. Step outside and you'll see this home was made for entertaining and relaxing. The upper deck just off the kitchen is the perfect place for an after dinner drink while the covered pergola on the lower patio provides the ideal spot to unwind or host friends. The fully fenced front and back yards make it easy for kids or pets to play safely, and mature trees and privacy fencing add a sense of seclusion. Tucked in a quiet, walkable neighborhood next to a school, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. It's a place where you can start your mornings with coffee on the deck, bike to the trails on weekends, and be downtown in minutes, proof that you really can have it all.
