## Description

### Agent Description
Fall in love the moment you arrive at this stunning character-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home loaded with timeless charm, major updates, and incredible indoor/outdoor living spaces! The oversized covered front porch creates the perfect first impression and is ideal for morning coffee, relaxing evenings, or entertaining guests. Step inside and immediately notice the gorgeous original hardwood floors, rich natural woodwork, abundant natural light, soaring ceilings, and rare butler's staircase that give this home warmth and unforgettable personality. The spacious layout offers large living and dining areas perfect for hosting, while two bedrooms feature oversized closets rarely found in homes of this era. The bright three-season porch creates the perfect flex space for a second living area, reading room, or home office. The partially finished lower level with an additional bathroom offers endless possibilities including a guest suite, rec room, workout space, or movie area. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with room for pets, gardening, and entertaining. Major updates include a new roof in 2022, furnace, A/C and water heater in 2020, plus a radon mitigation system in 2022. Conveniently located minutes from Downtown Des Moines, Gray's Lake, Blank Park Zoo, trails, shopping, dining, and Des Moines International Airport with quick freeway access. Homes with this much character, space, and updates rarely become available! 13-Month HWA Platinum Home Warranty included!
