I have the character and stability of a nearly 100-year-old home, but I’ve recently been renovated so you can enjoy the charm without giving up modern comforts. Updates include a new 50-year roof, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, LVP flooring, fresh paint and updated trim. My 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout sits on approximately ¾ acre with no HOA, giving you room to make the property your own. One of my favorite features? The privacy behind me. A stable ravine creates a natural buffer at the rear of the property, giving you a peaceful setting surrounded by trees and nature rather than another home directly behind you. And there’s even room to dream. The size and layout of the property may offer potential for a detached shop or ADU, subject to zoning, permitting and site requirements. Whether you envision additional workspace, storage or future living space, there are possibilities here worth exploring. Then there’s Des Moines waterfront. Enjoy the marina, fishing pier, waterfront dining, parks, beaches and beautiful Puget Sound views, all close to home. Nearly a century of character. Fresh modern updates. A spacious lot. Natural privacy. Waterfront lifestyle. And room to dream. Come see what makes this Des Moines home so special
