Welcome to 5470 NE 6th Street where space, flexibility, and opportunity converge on nearly half an acre inside Des Moines! This expansive ranch-style home, built in 1973, features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs, with a walk-out lower-level apartment that includes its own kitchen, full bath, laundry, and 2 bedrooms, perfect for family, guests, or rental income. The upper level has been thoughtfully refreshed: brand-new kitchen cabinetry, shimmering quartz countertops, updated baths, and a bright retro three-season porch that overlooks your private backyard oasis. The main level also includes a convenient pantry-with-laundry niche, generous living and dining zones, and a primary suite with a 3/4 bath. For gearheads, hobbyists, or EV enthusiasts, you’ll love the 3-car garage equipped with 220V service, offering serious flexibility for workshop setups or charging stations. Outside, you'll find sweeping green space, mature trees, and room to dream — whether that’s a garden, play area, or even space to expand. The walk-out lower level gives you direct connection to your yard, plus privacy and independence. Strategically located, you’ll be minutes from shopping, commuting routes, and local conveniences, while still tucked in a peaceful setting. Low taxes make this property even more attractive. Whether you're combining households, seeking monthly rental income, or simply craving architectural flexibility, this property offers it all.
