About 636 47th St
This West Des Moines gem has it all: comfort, flexible spaces, and an unbeatable location! On the first floor, you walk right into the formal living room with a built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelf (which the seller lovingly calls the library), formal dining room, and family room with sliders out to the deck. The kitchen is updated with granite countertops, a hot water dispenser at the sink, a tiled backsplash, and a beautifully backlit etched pantry. The Butler's pantry with a wine fridge would make a lovely bar or coffee station. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms: a full bath and a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and an en-suite. The basement is dry and partially finished, but could use some new flooring. There is also a huge room that could be a non-conforming 5th bedroom or used for storage. This home is on a large corner lot with mature trees, a privacy-fenced backyard, and an expansive deck. Call your Realtor for a private showing today!
