## Description

### Agent Description
Cute ranch home with 2-bedroom and 2 bathrooms in an established treed area! Desirable NE Des Moines neighborhood that is walking distance to schools and parks, shopping and just minutes from everything Des Moines has to offer. Kitchen has lots of cabinets and countertop space. You'll love having a built-in pantry. Gorgeous hardwood flooring flows throughout the main level. The finished basement provides another non-conforming bedroom and family room. Radon mitigation has already been installed for your piece of mind. Storage area with another bathroom and laundry room. Oversized 2-car garage is great for storage or the man cave. Lots of room for your cars and storage. This home is being sold as a short sale and as is. Please all time for sellers' bank approval so allow time and patience for the process. Home needs TLC and basement water issues addressed.
