5 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 742960 MLS
Built in 1891 and sitting on a corner lot across from McHenry Park, this 3,109 sq ft Victorian has the kind of bones that don't exist in new construction like the wraparound porch, tall ceilings, original architectural details, and a sprawling layout that rewards a buyer who knows what they're looking at. The main house offers 5 bedrooms and 2 baths across two floors. A separate 1 bed, 1 bath apartment with its own entrance sits between the house and the garage. The 1.5 car detached garage rounds out a property that has more going for it than most projects this size. This one needs everything - full rehab, top to bottom - and it's priced accordingly. The right buyer is someone with a vision and the patience to turn something remarkable into something extraordinary. On a quiet street, steps from the park, in an established Des Moines neighborhood - the upside here is real. Sold in AS IS condition. Cash or rehab financing only. Call your agent to schedule a tour.

Set a time to stop by and check out this unique 100 year old property in Des Moines' Oak Park neighborhood. This solid brick building was originally used in the 1920's as a retail store. An interesting tidbit is the abstract even talks about the owners getting in trouble for selling booze out of the store during prohibition. In recent years the property is half home, half hair salon. The north part of the building was remodeled into a 1+ bedroom apartment many years ago with the salon on the south side. The apartment has a full kitchen, dining area, living room, bedroom, an additional small bedroom or large closet, newer washer and dryer, and a full bath with walk in shower. There is a separate ½ bath for customers on the south side of the building. The furnace and A/C were replaced in 2022/2023. Outside you will find a fully fenced yard, a covered patio out back, and a nice sized yard with a carport out front with extra storage. Contact an agent and set a time to stop by and see this historic property with an fascinating history.
