Property Description
Step into timeless style and exceptional quality with this sprawling Waterbury mid century modern 3,000+ sq ft brick ranch in one of Des Moines' most sought-after neighborhoods. Tucked on a quiet corner lot, this home blends classic mid-century architecture with modern updates for everyday comfort. Walls of natural light, original built-ins, and iconic design details set the tone throughout. The expansive living room and cozy 4-season sunroom—each with its own wood-burning fireplace—invite both entertaining and quiet relaxation. The chef's kitchen features a dual-fuel KitchenAid 6-burner stove, generous counter space, and a seamless flow into the formal dining room. With 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a flexible home office (or 4th bedroom), the layout adapts beautifully to today's lifestyle. A large laundry/utility room and an oversized 2-car garage with extra storage add convenience. Outside, the half-acre, tree-lined yard provides a private oasis in the city. Recent updates in 2024 - major landscaping, rebuilt front landing with beautiful masonry bricks leading to the neighborhood, hot water heater, smart toilet, blinds, and fresh paint. New garage doors and new sewer line(2021), new electrical panel/system (2021) gutters (2020), Bosch dishwasher and heat pump (2018), and more—offer peace of mind. Located near shopping, trails, and top-rated Hanawalt, Merrill, and Roosevelt schools, this home offers an unmatched combination of character, space, and location.
