Located on arguably one of the most beautiful streets in Des Moines you will be in awe of this historic home on Polk Blvd. The fantastic location means kids can walk to school! Hubbell, Merrill and Roosevelt are just minutes away. Once spring hits you will be blown away by the 350+ plants and trees that have been professionally landscaped in the front yard shade garden. Enjoy 9ft ceilings on the first floor with original hardwood floors and great sunlight throughout. The attached sunroom is a great space for an office or playroom. The original character of this home has remained intact with unique built-ins, beamed ceilings, and craftsman style woodwork. The kitchen features maple cabinetry and granite countertops with stainless-steel appliances. Three spacious bedrooms are upstairs with a full bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub. The primary bedroom has an additional sunroom attached that has many versatile uses. An unfinished third floor as well as an unfinished basement with ¾ bath gives you even more square footage to grow. A brand-new driveway was added in 2018 and the backyard was fully fenced in. In 2023 a modern pergola was added making a perfect spot for relaxing outdoors. Just minutes from Greenwood Park, the Des Moines Art Center and bike trails with easy interstate access makes calling Polk Blvd home, something so many buyers long for.
