Come on into this move-in ready split foyer home. All the updated have been made and it is ready for its next owners. You will love the HUGE fenced backyard! Updated flooring, paint and counter tops. Great location on the south side of Des Moines.
Watrous Heights, located between Grand Avenue and Ingersoll Avenue, is a residential and historic Des Moines neighborhood with curving streets and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ingersoll Avenue corridor near 42nd Street, where sidewalk patios, small storefronts, and evening foot traffic set the tone. Early-20th-century homes—brick Tudors, Craftsman bungalows, and stately colonials—line the hills above the commercial strip. Greenwood Park and the Des Moines Art Center add green space and cultural gravity nearby. The pace feels calm on the interior streets, with daily life oriented toward local coffee, galleries, and neighborhood dining.
