Welcome to 1946 Franklin Ave, a home that’s been thoughtfully refreshed from top to bottom. Inside, you’ll find new flooring, new appliances, completely updated bathrooms and kitchen, accompanied by fresh paint, updated trim, and clean bright spaces throughout. The main level offers an open living area with new LVP flooring and natural light. The kitchen features brand-new appliances, fresh cabinetry, butcher-block counters, and plenty of room to cook and gather between the kitchen and dining area. A main-floor bedroom and new ¾ bath make daily living easy. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms sit next to a second renovated ¾ bath, each with new fixtures, vanities, showers, and flooring. The exterior has received its own attention: a modern paint refresh and a newly built front porch that gives the home instant curb appeal. A solid, cleanly updated home at this price point in Des Moines is tough to find—this one delivers value without the renovation headache.
