Welcome to 1502 29th St in the historic Drake neighborhood. Picture starting your morning with a cup of coffee on the east-facing enclosed porch as the morning sun comes in. Step inside and you’re welcomed by a character-filled living room made for slowing down and getting comfortable. From there, the home flows naturally into the formal dining room before leading to the kitchen and its cozy nook—the kind of spot that could easily become your favorite corner of the house. With over 1,300 sq ft, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, there’s more space here than you might expect. Continue outside to the partially fenced corner lot and 2-car detached garage. Major updates include the roof, siding, furnace and A/C. Best of all, Drake University, Drake Stadium, shops and restaurants are just steps away, with downtown Des Moines only minutes down the road.
