This Arts & Crafts bungalow offers 1,519 sq ft of beautifully maintained character in Des Moines' Five Oaks neighborhood. Enter through the enclosed front porch perfect for morning coffee to find original hardwood floors, wood trim, and built-ins, all in excellent condition, with fresh paint and updated lighting throughout. A semi-open living and dining room, separated by built-in bookcases and columns, leads to a charming kitchen at the back of the home, with two bedrooms and a full bath completing the main floor. The finished attic makes a fantastic 3rd bedroom, while the basement offers a 4th non-conforming bedroom, laundry, and flex space for a home gym, office, or rec room. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard, perfect for evening grilling and gathering. Fresh landscaping adds to the curb appeal, and the attached 1-car tuck-under garage adds everyday convenience. Just blocks from Drake University, steps from tree-lined streets, shops, restaurants, parks and bike trails.
