About this property
Tucked in the heart of Central Des Moines, this lovingly maintained home offers comfort, convenience, and untapped potential in one of the area’s most connected locations. Just 1 mile from the Sounder Light Rail and minutes to Saltwater State Park, the Des Moines Marina, waterfront dining, and the scenic Des Moines Creek Trail, enjoy effortless access to Seattle, Tacoma, and Sea-Tac Airport. Owned and cared for by its original owners, the home reflects pride of ownership throughout, with fresh exterior paint, a newer oil furnace, and double-double windows for enhanced comfort and efficiency. With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, the layout lives larger than expected, featuring mountain views from the main level and a spacious lower-level rec room ready for gatherings, hobbies, or flexible living. Set on a generous lot with gated off-street parking, the property also offers a large utility room, abundant storage, and room to grow. With potential for an ADU (buyer to verify), this is an opportunity to build equity in a location that continues to thrive. A home with great bones, meaningful updates, and space to make your own—this is Central Des Moines living at its best.
