Character, character, character!! This home is filled with original woodworking throughout that has stood the test of time and takes your breath away. It is in a quiet neighborhood with easy interstate access and close to everything Des Moines has to offer, only minutes from Ingersoll avenue. It's spacious as can be with "old school vibes" for those appreciate character in their life.
This property has been an Air BnB for 3.5 years and we'd be willing to transfer the listing to the next owner if there's desire to use as an investment property. It would also make for the perfect first-time home. Realtors welcome!
There is a 1 car detached that is more ideal for storage. The property has a smaller backyard with space for a patio setup or parking for cars. There is also an enclosed front porch that is the perfect sitting air during the warmer months.
Looking to sell the home fully furnished.
