## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome home to this well-maintained ranch offering 1,280 total finished square feet in an established Des Moines neighborhood. The main level features three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a bright, functional layout designed for comfortable everyday living. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof (2020), central air (2021), basement waterproofing with a transferable warranty (2020), and brand-new kitchen appliances (2026). The finished lower level adds 480 square feet of additional living space, making it the perfect spot for a second family room, home office, workout area, or rec room. Outside, you'll love the fully fenced backyard with a deck that's ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or letting pets play. The detached garage, built in 2003, offers excellent storage and workspace. Conveniently located near Beaverdale, Merle Hay Mall, Drake University, Witmer Park, and I-235, you'll enjoy quick access to shopping, dining, parks, and downtown Des Moines. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or searching for a great investment opportunity, this move-in ready home is one you won't want to miss.
