Rare Sherman Hill Opportunity! Own a piece of history in one of Des Moines’ most sought-after historic districts, located directly across from Aposto. This beautifully maintained 1880s home blends timeless character with modern comfort, including updated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. Offering 2,484 sq ft of finished living space, the home features 9-ft ceilings throughout, original wood floors, trim, siding, and staircase, and abundant natural light. The updated kitchen includes marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that opens to a south-facing sunroom filled with year-round sunshine. Upstairs offers four bedrooms and two full baths, including tiled floors and shower, a soaker tub in the primary bath, and brand-new carpet on the stairs and upper level. A half bath on the main floor adds convenience. The 1,000+ sq ft basement and attic are ready for future expansion—ideal for additional bedrooms, entertainment space, or lofts. A walkout basement leads to a covered patio and fenced backyard. Historic charm, major system updates, and incredible future potential—a must-see Sherman Hill home.
