Welcome to 2810 Rutland Avenue — a charming Des Moines home with classic character and fresh updates throughout. New appliances and fixtures make everyday living feel modern and move-in ready, while the warm traditional details give it a cozy, timeless feel: dark wood trim, baseboards, and crown molding, a beautiful turned-spindle staircase, and light wood-look flooring flowing through the main level. This home offers 3 comfortable bedrooms, including a master suite with its own private bath — a relaxing retreat at the end of the day. And just when you think you've seen it all, head up to the 3rd floor — a wonderful carpeted flex space that's perfect for a kid's fort, play area, game room, or quiet hangout. It's exactly the kind of space that sparks imagination and gives everyone a little extra room to spread out. Out back, enjoy a wood deck off the rear of the home — ready for summer grilling or morning coffee. Don't miss your chance to make this updated gem your own — schedule your showing today! * * * Listing contains virtually staged photos * * *

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.
