Property Description

Completely updated historic home, with easy access to all Des Moines has to offer. Enjoy the character of an older home, with modern amenities that simplify your life. Notable updates include: New kitchen, deck, drywall, main floor flooring, windows, lighting, and electrical in 2020, new furnace and a/c in 2021, new water heater in 2023, new driveway and back patio in 2025, and new upstairs carpeting in 2026 (installing on 4/6). You'll also have main floor laundry, a main floor half bath, and a 2-car garage, not an easy find for a home of this age! What you won't lose is great features like the beautiful, decorative front room fireplace, and the cozy sunroom, both perfect for large gatherings, or for lazy afternoons at anytime of the year. Not in the mood to stay in? You're walking distance to shops and restaurants on Ingersoll, or, with your closeness to I-235 and downtown, and quick drive to anywhere.
