## Description

### Agent Description
This Merle Hay area home offers more than meets the eye. It combines practical updates, added living space, and impressive garage/shop potential. It sits on a corner lot with a partially fenced-in yard. It's conveniently located within one mile of Moore Elementary School and is near shopping, restaurants, and major routes. The inside features stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and an updated beautifully tiled bathroom. The basement contains a large finished lower-level living area, complete with a full bath. Outside, 720 square feet of detached garage/shop space has been insulated, rewired, and temperature controlled, making it a great option for hobbies, projects, storage, or year-round functionality! Additional highlights include a newer roof, HVAC, and a transferable Midwest Basement Systems warranty for added peace of mind! This home brings together comfort, function, and everyday convenience in a desirable northwest Des Moines location.
