Nestled in the heart of Des Moines, stands a charming two story home that holds warmth and character. This home has witnessed generations of memories, every creaking floorboard tells a story. Overlooking Garfield, it sits tall and is timeless with its vinyl siding and newer roof (2019). A quaint enclosed porch greets visitors, offering a spot to relax. Step through the front door into a cozy living room, beautiful staircase and formal dining. The kitchen, the heart of the home, is not only spacious for preparing meals but also a great area to relax in conversations. A small breakfast nook by the window is the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee. Ascending the staircase to the second floor, you'll find two bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside, the backyard is a tranquil oasis that reflects a green thumb but isn’t too much yard to handle. The 1.5 car garage is great for storing extra toys.
