Lovingly cared for by the same owner for 53 years, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is ready for its next chapter! A finished walk-out basement offers additional living space and two non-conforming rooms for an office, hobbies, or potential future bedrooms with egress windows and any other required code improvements. Important updates include new mechanicals and a water heater in July 2026, plus an updated electrical panel in February 2026. Located within Invest DSM's Oak Park / Highland Park Special Investment District, eligible owner-occupants may qualify for matching renovation grants for approved improvements; an opportunity to explore when planning future updates. Enjoy McHenry Park just down the street, with views of the downtown Des Moines skyline, plus nearby Riverview Park, access to the bike trail system, and Highland Park's local shops and restaurants. A home with decades of memories, valuable updates, and potential to make it your own!
