Tucked away on a peaceful street with no through traffic, this beautifully maintained two-story home is filled with warmth, character, and thoughtful updates. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, while mature trees create a lovely backdrop. Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and nearly 400 square feet of additional finished living space in the lower level. The showstopper is the spacious addition off the back, where exposed wood beams, built-in bookcases, and a wood-burning brick fireplace make a cozy gathering place. Large windows frame the expansive, fully fenced backyard and fill the room with natural light. The kitchen shines with quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and newer refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. Updated luxury vinyl plank flooring adds a fresh feel to the main level, while original hardwood floors in the upstairs bedrooms preserve the home's charm. Enjoy an updated upstairs full bath and convenient main-floor laundry, too. Big-ticket improvements include a new furnace in October 2023, new A/C in 2023, and recently professionally cleaned ductwork. The finished lower level offers flexible space for movie nights, hobbies, or a home office. Outside, the generous fenced yard offers room to relax, play, or entertain, and the tandem garage adds valuable storage. Minutes from Merle Hay shopping, dining, entertainment, and nearby parks, this spotless, move-in-ready home offers the best of quiet living and everyday convenience. Don't miss this!

About Merle
Hay
Merle Hay, located between I-235 and I-80/35, is a commercial and residential Des Moines neighborhood with a mall corridor and mid-century subdivisions. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Merle Hay Road and Douglas Avenue, where big-box storefronts, local eateries, and steady traffic set a pragmatic, on-the-go tone. Ranch houses and split-levels sit on curving streets, with pockets of apartments near the main arterials. Merle Hay Mall remains the defining landmark, shaping the area’s retail-first geography. The Des Moines Buccaneers at Buccaneer Arena add a loud, local sports ritual to the week. Sidewalks and multi-use paths link to nearby green space for a break from the corridor pace.
