About This Home
Modern Comfort Meets 1898 Charm!
Step into this meticulously updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom historic gem at 1006 26th St. Following a comprehensive
2021 remodel, this home perfectly balances its original character with the reliability of a new build. You can move in
with total confidence knowing the roof, siding, windows, and all mechanicals have plenty of life. The interior boasts
gorgeous oak AND hickory hardwood floors and custom walnut countertops in the kitchen. For ultimate
convenience, the laundry is located on the second floor near the bedrooms. The 2021 renovation also secured a 10-
year tax abatement, offering massive savings for years to come. Since then, the current owners have added their own
stylish flair, including chic wallpaper accents in the bathroom and nursery that make the space feel truly curated and
"homey." Don't miss this turnkey opportunity to own a piece of Des Moines history with a modern, worry-free
interior!
