Classic curb appeal meets unexpected space! From the front, this home looks like a traditional Des Moines 2-story — but the moment you walk in, the expansive and updated rear living area sets it apart from anything else on the market. Enjoy over 2,400 finished sq ft featuring a remodeled kitchen with white cabinets, pull out drawers and solid-surface counters that opens to the family room with fireplace and brand-new carpet. Continue into the sunny 4-season room with access to the two-tier deck, paver patio, and a private, shaded, fenced backyard. It’s a dream setup for gatherings, game days, and everyday living. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms including a primary suite with updated ¾ bath. The finished lower level adds bonus living space. Hardwood floors, main-floor laundry, central vac, water softener, Hardiplank siding, newer windows, and newer roof all add to the value. Located in the desirable Johnston School District with convenient access to trails, shopping, and restaurants.
