About This Home

As of September 2021

Here is your chance to own a true piece of history. Originally built in 1903, this fully restored Queen Anne (Free Classic) once belonged to the prominent Harter family. The abundance of large closets, extensive woodwork, custom design, and architectural detail demonstrate the careful thought they put into their dream home. Most of those features can be seen through the extensive restoration of exterior as well as interior. Restored original wood siding, shake shingles, belly baluster railing, unique diamond and spade glazed light windows, oak fireplace mantel with cast iron fireplace, refinished quarter-sawn oak flooring showcase the original glory. Today's family will appreciate some of the modern touches: fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms throughout the house. Marble basket-weave floor in all the bathrooms is a show stopper. Don't miss your chance to live in Des Moines' oldest neighborhood.
