About This Home
As of May 2025Character abounds in this spacious immaculately kept historic home. Gorgeous original wood detail throughout, with original brick accent wall and tin ceiling in kitchen. Welcoming entry into the open living room, adjoined to the large dining room with the option to separate the two rooms using the gorgeous large original double pocket doors. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms with an optional fourth bedroom accessed through the primary. Also upstairs, the bathroom contains an original standalone clawfoot bathtub. The unfinished basement is roomy, dry, and has painted floors for easier maintenance. Great location with easy freeway access, just minutes from downtown and the capitol. Electrical recently updated to be compliant with Des Moines city code, and basement waterproofing system still under warranty. Remodel grants may be available through qualifying programs!
