Here is a rare opportunity to restore one of Des Moines’ true Craftsman gems! Built in 1914, this 2,262-sq-ft home sits on a generous 1/3-acre lot in a prime 50311 location. The residence retains its original floor plan, unpainted millwork, quarter sawn oak hardwood floors throughout, and authentic architectural elements seldom found intact today. Features include a spacious wraparound porch (partially screened), large partially finished basement, and original 1914 windows with wood frames. The home has been largely untouched for decades and is ready for full renovation. Radiant heat throughout with original radiators supplied by a gas hot water on demand boiler. Multiple plaster ceilings need repair from previous roof leaks. The roof was replaced in 2001 by completely removing the original clay roof tiles, installing new decking and underlayment - then the clay tiles were re-installed. Perfect project for preservationists, investors, or anyone who values historic integrity. Home Warranty Included. Sold as-is—bring your vision and craftsmanship to this remarkable piece of Des Moines history.
