    What's special

    A historic Drake-area home, completely reimagined for modern living—and now offered at more than $20,000 below the Assessor's value. This beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home combines the character and craftsmanship of an older home with the major improvements buyers want today, including a new poured-concrete foundation, roof, windows, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and 2-car garage. Inside, original oak floors and architectural details blend beautifully with an open main level, custom kitchen, and spacious drop zone. The new lower level is a standout feature, with 9-ft ceilings, large egress windows, and excellent potential for additional bedrooms, a bath, and living space. The home also qualifies for a 10-year, 100% property tax abatement, adding to the exceptional value at its new price. Conveniently located near Drake University, neighborhood restaurants, downtown Des Moines, and ongoing Invest DSM neighborhood reinvestment. All information obtained from seller and public records.
