Inside, nearly 1,800 square feet showcases craftsmanship you simply can't recreate today. A storybook two-story foyer with dual staircases sets the tone, leading into spaces filled with rich hardwood floors, intricate trim, thick pocket doors, and original built-ins.

Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms plus a versatile sunset loft; perfect for an office or reading nook, along with a full bath featuring a classic claw-foot tub. Live on one of the very first streets in all of Des Moines surrounded by quaint artistic character mixed with the vibrant energy of downtown. What an opportunity to own a piece of history. Home has just been professionally painted throughout and has a current rental certificate in place. Offered at $340,000
