Looking for renters to love this home as much as we do! We lived in this home for 3 years until moving to West Des Moines and have now rented it out for an additional 3 years. The location of this home is ideal! One mile south of Drake University and 1/2 mile north of Des Moines University, not to mention less than 1/2 mile north of the Ingersoll Ave strip that includes many shops, restaurants, and coffee bars. This home is sitting on a very friendly road in a great neighborhood with plenty of shade and no neighbors across the street. On the outside you will find a long driveway for off street parking, a one car garage sizable enough for a workshop or outdoor storage space, massive back deck for entertaining, and a good-sized fully fenced in back yard perfect for pets, complete with a chicken coop (chickens not included) and area for placement of gardening beds if desired! When you enter the home, you will see it has been well taken care of. The enclosed 3 seasons front porch has lots of light and adds extra space not only as an entry way for your shoes and coats but also space for an office or reading nook. There are cherry finished floors throughout the front porch, living room, and kitchen which make for easy cleaning. The bedrooms, large enough to comfortably fit a queen or king sized bed, come with brand new carpet and illuminated closet space. In the recently updated bathroom, you will find a new vanity and shelves above the toilet and doors for more storage space. In the kitchen, you will find stainless steel appliances, large oak cabinets, and a convenient pantry space that houses the stereo for the surround sound audio system with speakers in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, front porch, and outside above the back deck. The abundance of natural light throughout the main floor is one of my favorite parts of this home. Once you go down the carpeted stairs, you will find a partially finished basement with a living room area, office area, workout room with padded flooring, laundry room, and an abundance of storage space. Furnishings in the basement include the pictured desk, treadmill, washer and dryer, and shelving. The partially finished 768 sq ft of space in the basement in addition to the 768 sq ft of finished space upstairs provides endless possibilities. On top of all the great features of this property is a newer furnace and A/C (2019), so you can be sure that your summers will be cool and winters will be warm! The property is currently occupied and is available in early July . Absolutely no smoking allowed. Pet friendly with extra pet deposit and monthly fee. Tenants must pass background and credit check. Tenants are responsible for all utilities, snow removal, and lawn care. Lawn care can be negotiated to be performed by landlord if desired. Landlord may also be willing to negotiate other aspects of rental agreement. If interested, please feel free to reach out through the request a tour or ask a question links. Thank you for viewing!
