Sometimes the opportunity is finding one that's been cared for, works the way it should, and still leaves enough undone for you to make it yours. This 3-bedroom ranch offers 1,160 square feet on the main level with a full bath plus an additional half bath. Downstairs, a fourth non-conforming bedroom is already in place, with additional space offering the potential for another living area, office, hobby room or whatever life calls for next. The finishes aren't pretending to be brand newand that's part of the opportunity. Move in. Live in it. Then decide what you would change. All of it sits in an established Des Moines neighborhood with convenient access to the rest of the metro. You could pay more for someone else's version of finished. Or you could start here and make this one yours.
