Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in historic Waterbury is a charming bungalow that feels like a hidden treasure. Surrounded by mature trees and distinctive homes, this delightful property offers the character Waterbury is known for, along with a wonderfully private setting. Step inside and discover the details that make this home so special. Hardwood floors, crisp white millwork, graceful columns and a coffered ceiling lend character to the living spaces, while the kitchen opens to a sun-filled family room with windows overlooking the gardens. It's a home where the indoors and outdoors feel beautifully connected. Just beyond the windows, a secret garden awaits. Winding stone steps lead through terraced landscaping beneath a canopy of mature trees. Tucked among the greenery is a secluded patio and fire pit, an enchanting little hideaway for lingering over morning coffee, gathering with friends or simply enjoying the peace and tranquility of this lovely retreat. A separate fenced lawn offers a wonderful space for pups to romp and little ones to play. A home full of character, charm and delightful surprises in one of Des Moines' most treasured neighborhoods.
