1011 24th St, Des Moines, IA 50311

Historic character, modern updates, and an unbeatable location come together in this move-in-ready 2-story home at 24th St & Cottage Grove Ave! Enjoy quick access to 235 and downtown, scenic park views across the street, and a short walk to Gateway Market and Smokey Row Coffee. Inside, timeless early-century charm shines through with original woodwork, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light, while energy-efficient windows reduce expenses and add modern comfort. In 2006, the home was moved onto a brand-new poured foundation, creating a solid basement rarely found in a home of this vintage. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, this home provides flexible living space for today's lifestyle. The impressive basement features tall ceilings, a 4th bedroom plus a newly completed 3/4 bath --perfect for guests, a teen suite, home office, or potential rental income. Recent updates include a high-efficiency furnace, AC, and water heater. For added confidence, the seller's home inspection is available for review at the conclusion of showing. Outside, the lot adjoins the city-owned corner, giving you a more spacious feel without the extra mowing or snow removal. A detached 2-car garage off Cottage Grove adds valuable off-street parking and storage. Whether you're looking for a charming home close to everything or a property with excellent rental potential, this one delivers character, flexibility, value, and convenience in one standout package!
