About this House

Welcome to 2425 Capitol Ave, a storybook bungalow nestled on one of Des Moines' most picturesque cobblestone streets. This meticulously restored Arts & Crafts home blends timeless character with modern updates in a way that feels both elevated and effortless. Step into the inviting four-seasons room—ideal as a sitting area, library, or creative space—and feel the warmth of a home with heart. Inside, the open-concept layout offers a modern flow while honoring original craftsmanship through detailed trim work and finishes. The gourmet kitchen features custom poplar cabinetry, built-in appliances, and a cleverly designed pantry above the stairs. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main level, tying together each thoughtfully restored space. Off the dining room, a flexible bedroom makes a perfect guest room or office. Down the hall, two additional spacious bedrooms offer generous closets and are complemented by a beautifully tiled full bath with custom built-ins. The basement has been carefully maintained with masonry work, a new full bath, and a partially finished area—ideal for a second living space or non-conforming fourth bedroom. Outside, the yard features new fencing on three sides, ample off-street parking, and an oversized two-car garage that's insulated and heated. With new siding, roof, windows, and a tuned-up HVAC system, this home is truly move-in ready. Discover charm and modern comfort at 2425 Capitol Ave!

    "We are friendly with several of our neighbors, we have BBQ'S or have snacks with a few of them. They look out for our place, as we look out for theirs. We definitely watch the "druggies" that come and go from one house across the alley from us."

    "I've lived here for almost 3 years with a friend. It's a crowded house, but we all love this neighborhood. There was only a few incidents that had me concerned, but they seem to have been isolated. Neighbors tend to look out for each other here, like the old days."
