Property Description

Two homes, one address, and rental income built in. Built in 1890 in the heart of Des Moines’ Sherman Hill Historic Neighborhood, this rare property pairs a stately Victorian with a separately addressed, all-brick carriage house on an 8,750 sq ft lot, with over 5,000 sq ft of combined living space. THE CARRIAGE HOUSE, 1711 Woodland Ave: nearly 1,400 sq ft (1,378) of 1.5-story living with 2 bedrooms, including an upstairs primary with its own fireplace, plus a full bath, full basement, boiler heat, and its own porch. At an estimated $2,000 a month in rent ($24,000 a year, more than double the property taxes), it can help carry your mortgage. Or use it as an in-law suite, guest house, or studio. THE MAIN HOUSE, 1701 Woodland Ave: 3,713 sq ft across three finished levels, including a 774 sq ft finished attic, plus a full basement. Features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 11 rooms, two fireplaces, central air, boiler heat, and a 382 sq ft front porch. Both homes showcase original woodwork throughout, with pocket doors on the main and second floors of the main house and on the main floor of the carriage house. Once home to T. Fred Henry, the bandleader renowned across Iowa and the Midwest a century ago. Walk to downtown, Gateway Market, and Aposto Restaurant. Live in one, rent the other. Opportunities like this rarely come along.
