Property Description
Character and care - the hallmark of what makes a well-cared-for older home feel special. This residence offers an ideal blend of timeless historic charm, original details and finishes with a flexible floorplan you can customize for how you want to live today and in the future. A large enclosed front porch provides a serene retreat, while inside, stunning woodwork envelopes you: gorgeous hardwood floors, trim, built-ins, paneling and working pocket doors. The main floor features a formal living room with corner fireplace, spacious dining room with built-in buffet, bright oversized kitchen with mudroom and deck access, plus a bonus room with adjoining full bath that can serve as a 4th bedroom, primary suite, guest room or office. Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms and a second full bath with separate entry and ensuite. Laundry, storage and flex space in the dry basement. New roof in 2017; HVAC replaced in 2021/22. The opportunities continue outside with a large workshop/studio, a parking pad for 2 cars where a carport could be built, and a playhouse. This home provides an opportunity for Historic Preservation - eligible for Invest DSM grants for upgrades and improvements, such as rebuilding the original carriage house/garage, offering ADU possibilities. The shared driveway is a deeded formal easement. Located on the Drake Neighborhood’s west side, just blocks from Uptown Center shops, Hy-Vee and the annual Greek Festival. The opportunities are endless—the choices are all yours.
