Single Family Home for sale in Des Moines, IA

for $185,000 with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. This 937 square foot home was built in 1951 on a lot size of 0.152.

This brick home in the Merle Hay neighborhood has the kind of curb appeal that just feels welcoming from the moment you pull up. The extra-long driveway is a nice bonus too — plenty of room for parking without feeling cramped. Inside, the living room has a comfortable, everyday feel with space to spread out and make it your own. The kitchen is cozy and practical, perfect for easy meals and simple mornings. Both bedrooms are a good size, and the clean, unfinished basement gives you tons of extra storage or room to create whatever you need down the road. The attic is another great feature — currently unfinished, but full of potential. Whether you imagine a third bedroom, a quiet office, it’s a blank slate ready for your ideas. Out back, the large yard gives you plenty of breathing room. It’s the kind of space where you can garden, host summer get-togethers, or just enjoy some fresh air. If you want a home with classic charm, a central location, and the flexibility to make it truly yours over time, this one is a fantastic fit.
