Property Description
A rare opportunity to own the first home built in the Waterbury neighborhood, originally constructed for Frank Waterbury. This 7-bedroom, 5-bath home offers scale and versatility that's hard to find, anchored by an attached 4-car garage - a standout feature in this historic pocket of Des Moines. The upscale kitchen includes a full pantry and a mudroom off the garage, while the family room's warm, lodge-like feel makes it hard to leave. The primary suite feels like a true retreat, and each of the remaining 5 bedrooms holds its own in size and function. Enjoy the outside with its mature trees and established landscaping, along with a composite deck and a newly fenced yard. The home's original character has been carefully preserved, while the costly work is already done: new Pella windows and doors, a new roof, refinished hardwood floors, and updated bathrooms, among many other upgrades. A full list is available upon request. See this Des Moines gem in person - schedule your showing today.
