About this House

One of One in Downtown Des Moines' Historic East Village. This truly one-of-one condo offers a rare opportunity to own over 5,000 square feet of living space in the heart of historic East Village — a footprint you simply won't find elsewhere in Downtown Des Moines. Rich hardwood flooring and exposed brick run throughout, giving every room genuine historic character paired with modern livability. The open-concept main living area is designed for easy entertaining and everyday flow, while the bedrooms are thoughtfully separated to offer real privacy — the best of both worlds in one home. Large windows and soaring square footage make this space feel less like a condo and more like a private downtown residence. Step outside and you're within walking distance of some of Des Moines' best restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues — East Village living at its finest. The list price includes two indoor parking spaces, a rare and valuable convenience in this walkable, vibrant neighborhood. Don't miss your chance to own a truly unique piece of Des Moines history. Homes like this don't come around often — schedule your private showing today.
