1211 56th Street

Stop spending your life in traffic! This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch is strategically located right next to I-235, offering a "straight shot" to the heart of Downtown Des Moines in just minutes. Inside, you’ll find a classic easy-flow layout on the main level that maximizes every square inch of living space. However, the real surprise is downstairs; the partially finished basement offers incredible versatility and acts as the perfect secondary living area, a dedicated home office, or a private workout gym, all while leaving plenty of room for additional storage. Situated just seconds from the highway and minutes from the endless shopping and dining options at Merle Hay Mall, this home combines the simplicity of ranch-style living with a location that puts the best of the city right at your doorstep.
