Property Description
Welcome to a special piece of Des Moines history in Chautauqua Park Historic District. Set along a winding, tree-lined street, this home is filled with character that simply can't be recreated. From the moment you step through the beautiful original arched front door, you can feel the history. Original hardwood floors, timeless details and generous living spaces have been lovingly preserved while thoughtful updates make the home comfortable for today. The kitchen received a complete overhaul by AIM Kitchen & Bath with updated cabinetry, appliances and finishes. Just beyond, the bright solarium with newer windows is perfect for morning coffee, reading or enjoying views of the backyard. Outside, the fully fenced and beautifully landscaped yard offers a gazebo, fire pit and plenty of space to garden, entertain or play. Important updates include exterior paint, tuckpointing, leaf-guard gutters and a basement waterproofing system with French drains and two sump pumps. With 4 bedrooms, there's plenty of space, but it's the history, character and setting that truly make this home special. Just minutes from downtown, parks, restaurants and shopping, this lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated home is everything your historic-home-loving heart could want.
