About this home

Nestled near the Governor's Mansion just off a cobbled brick road, this historic gem is in an area that was originally developed by iconic Des Moines visionaries Jefferson Polk and Frederick Hubbell. Thoughtfully maintained, the home has seen significant updates including a new HVAC system (2023), upgraded 200-amp electrical service, PEX plumbing through much of the house, a newer roof, reinforced east and west foundation walls, and most recently, extensive backyard landscaping. In the warmer months, the backyard transforms into a secluded retreat; in cooler seasons, enjoy panoramic views of the Des Moines skyline. Step inside to discover timeless charm - original wood floors, built-in bookcases, a dedicated dining room, and a sunlit all-season room that spans the back of the home. The main level also includes a half bath and kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom features a rooftop deck - perfect for a quiet morning coffee or evening unwind. Downstairs, the basement offers space for projects, hobbies, or additional storage. Outside, the terraced backyard highlights a new staircase pathway with new landscaping. With quick access to the interstate, downtown, shopping, and dining, this one-of-a-kind home offers the perfect blend of history, comfort, and convenience.

This historic home - situated near the Governor's mansion - was developed by iconic Des Moines figures Jefferson Polk and Frederick Hubbell. The current owner has diligently preserved and cared for this home, replacing the east and west foundation walls, upgrading the electrical system to 200 amp service, installing PEX plumbing throughout much of the house, a newer roof, and replacing the HVAC system (2023). In summer and fall, the back of the home becomes a private oasis while winter and spring offer stunning views of Des Moines. Upon entering from the front door, you will notice the home's charm, including wood floors and built-in bookcases, a dedicated dining room with additional built-ins flanking the entry to the all-season room that expands the back of the home. The main floor also has a half bath and kitchen. Upstairs, are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom features a rooftop deck, offering a peaceful retreat. The basement provides more room for tinkering. The terraced backyard, lovingly preserved, showcases a nearly 100-year-old brick pathway. Fantastic location with easy access to interstate, downtown, shopping and dining.
