This Arts & Crafts bungalow offers 1,519 sq ft of beautifully maintained character in Des Moines' Five Oaks neighborhood. Enter through the enclosed front porch perfect for morning coffee to find original hardwood floors, wood trim, and built-ins, all in excellent condition, with fresh paint and updated lighting throughout. A semi-open living and dining room, separated by built-in bookcases and columns, leads to a charming kitchen at the back of the home, with two bedrooms and a full bath completing the main floor. The finished attic makes a fantastic 3rd bedroom, while the basement offers a 4th non-conforming bedroom, laundry, and flex space for a home gym, office, or rec room. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard, perfect for evening grilling and gathering. Fresh landscaping adds to the curb appeal, and the attached 1-car tuck-under garage adds everyday convenience. Just blocks from Drake University, steps from tree-lined streets, shops, restaurants, parks and bike trails.
Drake, located between University Avenue and Interstate 235, is a historic and academic Des Moines neighborhood with collegiate energy and tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 25th Street near University Avenue, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and campus foot traffic set the daily rhythm. Drake University and the Drake University Observatory act as cultural anchors, with the Drake Relays bringing a signature seasonal pulse. Early-20th-century houses and brick apartment buildings frame walkable blocks that shift from quiet porches to busier storefronts. Pocket parks and the nearby river corridor add green breaks between classes, errands, and evening events.
