Property Description

A Sanctuary in the City - Tucked away on over a half-acre of wooded privacy, this exceptional home is nestled in the South of Grand enclave of Linden Heights, one of Des Moines' most historic and coveted neighborhoods. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels like a retreat — mature trees, peaceful surroundings, and a sense of seclusion that's rare to find in the heart of the city. Close to nearby shops, restaurants, and downtown destinations, this residence offers the finest in city living. The freshly painted exterior (2025) and new roof (2022) offer wonderful curb appeal. Inside, timeless character shines through beautifully preserved hardwood floors and rich original trim throughout. Two fireplaces — one classic wood-burning, one convenient gas — add warmth and charm to the home's inviting living spaces. A new AC added in 2017 keeps it cool in the summer! Entertain or unwind on the large deck, overlooking the private, wooded lot — a true extension of the home's living spaces. The second floor features 3 bedrooms, laundry, and 2 baths. The primary suite's two large rooms offer flexibility to meet your needs and lifestyle. The walkout lower level adds valuable living space, a 4th bedroom and outdoor access. On the 3rd floor, the spacious room can serve as a 5th bedroom, private office, playroom, or creative studio. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Linden Heights history, offering a peaceful private sanctuary close to all the conveniences of the city.
