Welcome to this diamond in the rough located in the desirable, historic River Bend neighborhood of Des Moines! This charming 2-story home features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and almost 1800 square feet of living space.
Upon entering the home, you'll be greeted by a spacious living room with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The adjacent dining room is perfect for entertaining guests and has plenty of space for a large dining table. The house is in need of a complete renovation, but the possibilities are endless with this blank canvas.
Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms (with the possibility of a fourth!), each with their own unique charm. The bathroom is also in need of a complete renovation but has the potential to be a stunning space.
Located in the historic River Bend neighborhood, this home is just steps away from the Des Moines River and is close to downtown Des Moines and all the amenities it has to offer. With some TLC and a little imagination, this home has the potential to be a true gem. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make it your own!
