Fresh, clean, welcoming, and full of thoughtful updates, this is the kind of home where you can skip the project list, unpack your boxes, and start enjoying it from day one. ## Location - **Address:** 3221 Amherst Street, Des Moines, IA 50313 - **County:** Polk - **Coordinates:** 41.625003, -93.611123 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.625003,-93.611123 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Emma Jordison - **Brokerage:** Century 21 Signature Real Estate - **Broker Phone:** (515) 224-4002 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3221-Amherst-St_Des-Moines_IA_50313_M79428-58372?f=listhub&s=DMAARIA&m=747887&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f3980632359r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f4033260425r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f4074849523r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f3039869882r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f1921534834r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f56852653r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f2519676465r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f3964976649r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f532656129r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f2398649747r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f2408026024r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f3184402128r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f432651151r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f1366381417r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f1214004589r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f1963504066r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f1777043741r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f3245788374r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f3629584808r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f3848463969r.jpg) ![3221 Amherst Street - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8f3e1f1d9a46187233950baf4a83ee90l-f3345105597r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 747887 | **Updated:** 2026-11-02 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Des Moines Area Association of REALTORS®, Inc.
