Highly sought-after brick house in the Merle Hay Neighborhood up for rent May 2nd.
Two-bedroom one bath brick home located at 1508 57th Street in the Merle Hay neighborhood is up for rent beginning May 2nd.
The kitchen was recently updated with a newly tiled floor, shiny new stainless steel appliances including a gas stove, cooking hood, and refrigerator to go along with stylish new cabinets and cupboards. The kitchen also includes a deep single basin sink and striking granite countertops.
The bathroom is newly tiled, includes a slick looking retro sink, a low-flow toilet, and a bathtub/shower with integrated shelves so you can bathe with ease!
The bedrooms have new carpet and to help maximize space, the old folding closet doors have been replaced with sliding barn doors! Speaking of doors, all of them have all been replaced, with knotty alder.
The house is shaded in the summer, and sees a lot of sun in the winter, which in conjunction with a new heating and cooling system will help keep your utilities low.
The basement includes a washing machine and dryer so you have no excuse to not wash your clothes. There is also plenty of storage space, and ample room for a workbench if you are into crafty projects.
There is off-street parking and this quiet neighborhood is packed with friendly people. Within ten minutes you can be downtown, at Drake University, going off the wall at the Jordan Creek Mall or Merle Hay Mall, Hy-Vee, Wal*Mart, Target, and about a hundred additional awesome places! Access to the Des Moines Bike Trail is two blocks away, so you can don your finest spandex and peddle on over to 515 Brewing and see what they have on tap. Simon's is also around the corner, so if you have a hot date that you are trying to impress you do not need to go far for some of the best food in the metro.
Cats and small/medium sized dogs are welcome for an additional $50/mo. and $500 deposit.
Why on Earth would you want to live anywhere else? Name two reasons?
See, you just can't do it, so don't hesitate for a minute more!
Schedule your time to come and see this place. It will not last long!
*Cute dog not included.
12 month lease, Electricity, Gas, Water, Internet, Cable, Lawn Care, and Snow Removal are the responsibility of the tenant.
