Iconic downtown living in the historic Kirkwood Building, where Unit 901—set on the 9th floor- delivers one of the most coveted “01” corner layouts in Des Moines, spanning the entire side of the building & framing sweeping skyline views through walls of glass that pour natural light into more than 1,300 sq ft of refined space. Inside, 2 generous bedrooms and 2 full baths- including a primary suite with walk-in closet—blend seamlessly with 2024 luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite counters, 2025 stainless appliances, a new sink, fresh plumbing fixtures, handsome wood doors, & an airy, open living area that balances modern comfort with the Kirkwood’s timeless character. The lifestyle is equally compelling: step outside to the famed Saturday Farmers Market, cross the block to Hy-Vee, or stroll to sushi, Thai, cafés, cocktail lounges, & every downtown amenity. Secure fob-locked elevators and skywalk doors (locked nightly at 10 p.m.) pair with full access to Des Moines’ climate-controlled skywalk network, while a trash chute just outside the unit, extra owner storage, building-wide Wi-Fi, and responsive management by Kouri Property Management elevate day-to-day convenience. From the original lobby telephone booths to the painted ceilings that whisper the building’s hotel past, the Kirkwood’s charm is undeniable—& Unit 901 puts you at the heart of it all with a true lock-and-leave lifestyle that makes downtown Des Moines feel effortlessly vibrant.
