Welcome to this statement-making 1905 Prairie-style historic home, lovingly restored over the past 20 years. Located less than 2 miles north of downtown Des Moines in the historic River Bend neighborhood, this area is full of architectural character & quickly becoming one of the city’s most exciting neighborhoods. With major investment happening nearby, (Birdland Marina, 6th ave corridor & a brand new school!) the future of this area is incredibly bright. Inside, the craftsmanship is exceptional. Original & thoughtfully recreated details shine throughout, from stunning woodwork, built-ins, leaded glass windows, & picture rails to warmth & character you cannot replicate today. Grand formal living & dining spaces, a welcoming front porch, sunroom, & beautifully updated kitchen blend historic charm with modern livability. Designed for entertaining, the kitchen features top-tier appliances, radiant heated floors, & thoughtful updates that honor the home’s original soul. Enjoy incredible outdoor living with lush landscaping, patio space, 3-car detached garage, & a detached flex space perfect for a studio, gym, rec room, or workshop. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, & laundry, while the finished 3rd floor adds flexible bonus space with a 3/4 bath.
