## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome to this timeless traditional home in the heart of Historic Valley Junction! Rich with character, this home showcases beautiful original woodwork, hardwood floors, and craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. The main level features a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen, and an enclosed three-season porch perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath, while the third-floor attic offers incredible potential for future finished space, a studio, or additional storage. The basement includes a bathroom and abundant storage. While some updating is needed, this home presents a rare opportunity to restore and personalize a true classic. Just steps from the vibrant Historic Valley Junction district, enjoy locally owned boutiques, restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, art galleries, and year-round events including the popular Thursday night Music in the Junction and the award-winning Valley Junction Farmers Market. Originally founded as a railroad community in the late 1800s, Valley Junction remains one of the Des Moines metro's most unique and walkable neighborhoods. Qualified buyers may also be eligible for up to $15,000 in Neighborhood Finance Corporation (NFC) grant assistance, plus possible closing cost assistance, making this an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of West Des Moines history.
