Drake Collection from Lenox Properties
2919 Cottage Grove Avenue #2
Des Moines, IA 50311
This adorable apartment has been remodeled while retaining much of the building's historic Victorian charm. Features include a full living room, an extra-large kitchen, and a modest-sized bedroom. Recent updates include carpet in the living room and bedroom, tile in the kitchen and entry, kitchen countertops, paneling in the bathroom, new kitchen appliances, and three ceiling fans. Classic touches include stained wood interior doors and trim, including an original pocket door in the living room, opening to a large storage area; an extra-large black-and-white kitchen; original bathroom tile; and a vintage-style clawfoot bathtub/shower. The apartment has its own private front entrance and a rear entrance convenient to the parking lot. Rent includes one off-street parking space. Coin laundry available.
The convenient location is only minutes to downtown, the bars and restaurants on Ingersoll, and two blocks to Drake University.
Great opportunity to take advantage of all the nearby athletic and cultural events at Drake University. The Drake area is currently undergoing an exciting transformation with over $100 million in development, featuring new restaurants and a new hotel on University Avenue. A Wahlgreens Pharmacy and Kum & Go Market are also close by at the corner of 31st and University.
The property is professionally managed and receives weekly cleaning of common areas, mowing and landscape maintenance, snow plowing, and regularly scheduled pest control. Full-time maintenance staff and 24-hour emergency service.
