## Description

### Agent Description
**OPEN Wednesday April 8th 11-1** Step into a rare blend of urban convenience and timeless character in the heart of Des Moines' Historic Sherman Hill. Built in 1888 and set on the iconic Bridal Row (just north of Hoyt Sherman) this Queen Anne gem places you just blocks from downtown dining, parks, festivals, and nightlife, while offering a peaceful retreat at home with a welcoming front portico and fully fenced backyard. 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. The main level offers a formal dining room, a living room with fireplace, an updated 1/2 bath, a den/flex room with moveable transoms, a delightful 2-story walk-in pantry, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen that blends modern function with historic charm. 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
