Property Description

If you've been searching for a home with serious garage space and a setup that actually works for the way you live, 3821 8th Place delivers. Sitting in the heart of Highland Park, this fully updated two-bedroom is truly move-in ready — with all the big-ticket items already done. We're talking newer mechanicals, updated electrical, updated plumbing, and newer windows throughout. The kind of behind-the-walls work that lets you focus on living instead of fixing — while the home still holds onto its original character and that timeless gambrel roofline. The heart of the home is a large, open eat-in kitchen featuring crisp white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, a butcher block bar, and rich luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows into the dining and living spaces. Two spacious bedrooms and a refreshed full bath sit upstairs. The partially finished lower level adds bonus flex space for a rec room, home gym, or workshop. Outside, an oversized detached two-car garage is built for tools, workbenches, and weekend projects. A long concrete drive-through driveway with easy alley access makes pulling in the work truck, trailer, or project car simple. The partially fenced yard keeps the dog contained while leaving plenty of room to move equipment in and out. An enclosed front porch and expansive back deck round it all out. Minutes from I-235, downtown Des Moines, and Ankeny. Hardworking home. Hardworking neighborhood. Move in and make it yours.
