Property Description

Do you love a house with a rich history? Built in 1894 by James H. Stockham, Comptroller of Drake University, the historically and architecturally significant Stockham House is a Drake area landmark. Moved to its current location and placed on a new foundation, Stockham House is ready for its next chapter. Expertly and thoughtfully renovated by Silent Rivers Design + Build, it has been reimagined with character and charm. Historic details and craftsmanship abound. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a beautiful primary suite, main floor open concept living, custom cabinetry, soapstone kitchen counters, beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, a large drop zone, a new garage, a new herringbone brick sidewalk, and a charming front porch, there's no other home like it! Plans are ready to finish the new basement, featuring high ceilings and egress windows, to create additional living space. Even better, this home qualifies for a 10-year tax abatement!
