994 25th St, Des Moines, IA 50312

Nestled in the historic Drake Park neighborhood, this home offers a rare blend of new construction comfort and classic neighborhood charm. A generous front porch sets the tone, opening into a sun-filled main level with a brick-surround fireplace and open sightlines. The kitchen is designed for both cooking and gathering, featuring quartz countertops, tile backsplash, soft-close cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A laundry room, half bath and mudroom bench off the back entry keep daily life organized. Upstairs, the owner’s suite feels like a private retreat with its dual-sink vanity, fully tiled shower and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer flexible space for guests, work or hobbies. The unfinished basement provides room to grow with a window and plumbing stub already in place. Thoughtful touches—2x6 construction, durable flooring throughout, ceiling fans in every bedroom, a reclaimed stained-glass window and a dead-end street—add to the home’s appeal. With quick access to downtown and the interstate, plus the benefit of a 8-year Des Moines tax abatement and an EV charging system, this home delivers modern living in one of the city’s most established areas.
