Perched on the 20th floor of The Plaza, residence 2009 offers sweeping skyline and river views through the north and east facing windows. The iconic gold domes of the Iowa Capital are framed perfectly from the living room. The open living and dining spaces are perfect for entertaining. Water and basic cable are included in the monthly HOA dues. The sales price includes two deeded, climate-controlled underground parking spaces. All kitchen appliances and the washer/dryer convey and much of the furnishings are available for purchase outside of the contract. This fantastic home is steps from restaurants, cafes, shops, galleries, Hy-Vee, the Civic Center and everything downtown Des Moines has to offer with direct access to the enclosed, climate controlled skywalk.
Buyer will also get first right of refusal to purchase two adjacent opportunities when they become available in the future: the neighboring residence, Unit 2008, which can be combined with 2009 to create an approximately 3,000-square-foot sanctuary with 270-degree views; and commercial condominium Unit 225 on the skywalk level, ideal for an office or studio. No need for an home office when your actual office is just a quick elevator ride away! Inquire for details and combined pricing.
Please note that the assessed value on the assessor's site and the Zillow Zestimate do not include the 2 deeded parking spaces that this condo is being sold with. Those are currently assessed at $26,900 each.
