Welcome home to 609 E Granger Ave in Des Moines! This property is in the center of all of the action in Des Moines, yet just outside all of the noise and offers plenty of privacy. A short list within walking distance or a short bike ride: Principal park, Iowa State Capital, Lauridsen Skatepark, Botanical Garden and the brand new ICON Water Trails recreational park! An extensive list of modern updates that provide incredible peace of mind from the moment you arrive. You'll notice the massive exterior refresh completed in 2024, which included a brand-new roof, new siding, gutters with leafguards (transferrable lifetime warranty included), fascia, and downspouts on all structures. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a bright and clean atmosphere thanks to all-new interior paint throughout the entire home, finished in 2025. The kitchen packs features and function, featuring new appliances installed in 2024 (excluding the oven) and thoughtful custom shelving, newer countertops, and newer sink. The owners have meticulously maintained the ''bones'' of this home, replacing nearly every window between 2021 and 2022, and the HVAC system replaced in 2017. The true showstopper of this property is the backyard. Fully enclosed by a new fence in 2023, the back patio and yard space have been transformed into a private ''oasis''--the ultimate setup for relaxing or entertaining in total seclusion. This home is packed with high-value extras that stay with the property, including: All indoor and outdoor TV mounts, security camera system, custom bathroom shelving and basement storage, window AC unit for the garage, garage refrigerator and basement flooring tiles This property is a rare find that blends classic character with modern reliability. Selling as-is to reflect the extensive recent improvements.
