Built in 1918, this historically charming dutch colonial sits in the coveted South of Grand neighborhood and has been lovingly maintained by the same family since 1961. The home features all new windows, a newer roof, and a rare 3 car garage for the area. Timeless details include a grand entry staircase, beautiful moldings, unique cork floors, a cozy living room fireplace wrapped with built ins, and a warm wood paneled study. Upstairs boasts three bedrooms, including an oversized primary with plenty of space to add a future en suite bath, plus hardwoods hidden beneath the carpet. Ideally located within walking distance to some of the area's best restaurants, entertainment, parks, and trails. A truly special home in one of Des Moines most desirable locations.
