A remarkable opportunity to own a beautifully restored historic home in the Drake neighborhood, now priced more than $36,000 below the Assessor's value! Completely reimagined for modern living, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home combines historic character and craftsmanship with the peace of mind of extensive new construction. Improvements include a new poured-concrete foundation, roof, windows, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and new 2-car garage. Inside, original refinished oak floors and architectural details complement an open main level, custom kitchen, and spacious drop zone. The exceptional new lower level features 9-ft ceilings and large egress windows, offering tremendous potential for additional bedrooms, a bath, and living space. Adding even more value is a 10-year, 100% residential rehabilitation property tax abatement on qualifying improvements. This valuable program ends December 31, 2026, making now an especially compelling time to buy. Conveniently located near Drake University, neighborhood restaurants, downtown Des Moines, and ongoing Invest DSM neighborhood reinvestment. All information obtained from seller and public records.
