This spacious three-bedroom apartment at Kingman Gardens has the size and feel of a small house, and features a spacious floor plan with lots of light, great closet space, classic architectural features, and a detached one-car garage.
With about 1200 square feet, the apartment occupies the entire floor of the building and has exposures on all four sides, with new double-pane, tilt-in windows. Huge 24x15 living room and a full 18x12 dining room, retro style kitchen, and classic tile bathroom. Coin laundry is conveniently located on the lower level.
Kingman Gardens is a peaceful respite on the boundary of the historic Kingman Place neighborhood, famous for its tree-lined streets and vintage Victorian architecture listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A short walk to Drake University provides all the cultural and athletic events at an NCAA Division I institution (football, basketball, Drake Relays, etc.). Walking distance to Wahlgreens Pharmacy, Kum & Go Market, restaurants and fast food. Downtown is minutes away by car or DART. West Des Moines and Jordan Creek are easily accessed from the nearby I-235. The Drake area is currently undergoing an exciting transformation with over $100 million in development, featuring new restaurants and a new hotel.
