Property Description
Nestled near the Governor's Mansion just off a cobbled brick road, this historic gem is in an area that was originally developed by iconic Des Moines visionaries Jefferson Polk and Frederick Hubbell. Thoughtfully maintained, the home has seen significant updates including a new HVAC system (2023), upgraded 200-amp electrical service, PEX plumbing through much of the house, a newer roof, reinforced east and west foundation walls, and most recently, extensive backyard landscaping. In the warmer months, the backyard transforms into a secluded retreat; in cooler seasons, enjoy panoramic views of the Des Moines skyline. Step inside to discover timeless charm - original wood floors, built-in bookcases, a dedicated dining room, and a sunlit all-season room that spans the back of the home. The main level also includes a half bath and kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom features a rooftop deck - perfect for a quiet morning coffee or evening unwind. Downstairs, the basement offers space for projects, hobbies, or additional storage. Outside, the terraced backyard highlights a new staircase pathway with new landscaping. With quick access to the interstate, downtown, shopping, and dining, this one-of-a-kind home offers the perfect blend of history, comfort, and convenience.
