Welcome to 1320 46th Street, a charming four-bedroom home nestled in the heart of Des Moines’ historic Waveland District! Built in 1905, this home offers the character and charm of a historic property along with several important updates that provide peace of mind for its next owner. One of the first things you’ll notice is the beautiful front porch, which adds tremendous curb appeal and creates a welcoming entrance that truly makes this home stand out. The porch has been updated with a French drain installed around it, helping with proper drainage and protecting the home. Several key updates have already been completed, including vinyl windows installed in 2010, a new roof in 2011, and a newer water heater within the past five years. The garage was also reroofed in 2025. With four bedrooms and a great location in the sought-after Waveland area, there’s plenty of room to make this home your own. This is a super cute home with historic character that could benefit from a few minor cosmetic updates, but it is move-in ready and ready for its next chapter.
