Listing Description

Authentic Mid-Century Modern design meets rare space in Des Moines' Wakonda neighborhood! Set on an exceptionally hard-to-find double lot, this distinctive home delivers the clean lines, expansive glass, and indoor-outdoor connection that make the style so enduring!

Walls of windows fill the living room with natural light and frame views of the park-like backyard, while refinished original oak floors bring warmth and character throughout the main living areas. The open kitchen has a Scandinavian-inspired feel, and updated lighting, fresh paint, and thoughtful finishes allow the home's original architecture to remain the focus!

Outside, mature Birch trees, a broad lawn, native plantings, patios, a grilling space, and a fire pit create multiple places to gather, relax, and enjoy the privacy of this remarkable lot! Extensive recent investment is led by a brand-new flat roof and new roof ventilation-major improvements that add meaningful value and peace of mind.

Additional work includes exterior paint, perimeter drainage with French drains, landscaping, a new sump pump, sewer-line cleaning, interior updates, and a refreshed lower level with flexible bedroom or office space. The oversized attached garage offers a 1.5-stall footprint with room for a workshop, hobbies, and storage! This is not simply an updated home-it is an authentic Mid-Century Modern property with character, scale, and a setting exceptionally difficult to find in Wakonda!
