INVESTOR OPPPORTUNITY! Located just north of Hoyt Sherman Place and on the fringe of downtown, home is an absolutely PERFECT Airbnb or full-time rental property (with a current rental certificate already in place) ... or make this your very own story-book home w/timeless character & urban conveniences. Built in 1888, live on one of the very first streets in Des Moines: Bridal Row. This iconic Queen Anne gem places you just blocks from downtown dining, parks, festivals, and nightlife, while offering a peaceful retreat at home with a welcoming front portico and fully fenced backyard. Inside, nearly 1,800 square feet showcases craftsmanship you simply can’t recreate today. A stunning two-story foyer with dual staircases sets the tone, leading into spaces filled with rich hardwood floors, intricate trim, thick pocket doors, and original built-ins. The main level offers a formal dining room, a living room with fireplace, an updated 1/2 bath, a den/flex room with moveable transoms, a delightful 2-story walk-in pantry, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen that blends modern function with historic charm. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms plus a versatile sunset loft; perfect for an office or reading nook, along with a full bath featuring a classic claw-foot tub. Home has just been professionally painted throughout. Quaint character, mixed with vibrant energy of downtown. Own a piece of DSM history here in Sherman Hill. Offered @ $329,900 thanks!
