About 4518 SE 6th St

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street on the south side of Des Moines, this cute ranch has everything you need and more. You’ll love the light pouring into the living room from the eye-catching bay window and how the main room opens up to the spacious updated kitchen. Down the hall, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath. Head downstairs for the ultimate hangout zone: a home theater setup complete with projector that stays and stadium seating (removable if desired), a bar area (the beverage fridge stays too), tile ¾ bath, and a non-conforming 4th bedroom with potential for an egress window. Can it get any better? Yes it can. Step outside and enjoy the HUGE back deck, a garden behind the 2-car detached garage, and mature landscaping all around. Recent upgrades include all new windows, new carpet, fresh paint, and a newer roof (2021). As a bonus, an HSA warranty is provided for added peace of mind. Whether you're looking for your first home, a place to entertain, or just a peaceful retreat in the city .. this one has it all. Come see it for yourself!
