This historic home - situated near the Governor's mansion - was developed by iconic Des Moines figures Jefferson Polk and Frederick Hubbell. The current owner has diligently preserved and cared for this home, replacing the east and west foundation walls, upgrading the electrical system to 200 amp service, installing PEX plumbing throughout much of the house, a newer roof, and replacing the HVAC system (2023). In summer and fall, the back of the home becomes a private oasis while winter and spring offer stunning views of Des Moines. Upon entering from the front door, you will notice the home's charm, including wood floors and built-in bookcases, a dedicated dining room with additional built-ins flanking the entry to the all-season room that expands the back of the home. The main floor also has a half bath and kitchen. Upstairs, are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom features a rooftop deck, offering a peaceful retreat. The basement provides more room for tinkering. The terraced backyard, lovingly preserved, showcases a nearly 100-year-old brick pathway. Fantastic location with easy access to interstate, downtown, shopping and dining.
