Property Description
Welcome to 1242 McKinley Ave, a 4-bedroom, 1.75-bath home that offers flexibility, functionality, and timeless character. Situated on a corner lot near downtown Des Moines, this property boasts a prime location close to the airport, grocery stores, entertainment, and the scenic Grey's Lake Park.
The main level features two bedrooms, a full bath, and a cozy living area with large baseboards and elegant window casings that add warmth and style. Upstairs, you'll find a unique finished attic with a private bedroom, ensuite 3/4 bath, additional kitchen, and bonus living spaces. The lower level includes a fourth bedroom and an attached tuck-under garage.
Whether you're looking for a single-family residence or a property with income potential, this home fits the bill. Previously used as a successful two-unit rental and Airbnb, it's also perfect for multigenerational living or converting back to a spacious single-family home.
Outside, enjoy the convenience of a corner lot with a gravel driveway. A new sidewalk is scheduled for installation in spring 2025, enhancing accessibility and curb appeal.
