Property Description

Stunning Brick Home in Coveted Owl’s Head. Tucked into a peaceful, wooded lot in Des Moines’ prestigious South of Grand neighborhood, this residence combines timeless character with modern comfort in one of the city’s most exclusive areas. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with granite counters, quality cabinetry, and a stainless farmhouse sink, while the living room’s gas fireplace with stone surround creates a warm focal point. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with a double vanity and oversized tiled shower. The backyard is a true retreat—surrounded by mature trees for shade and privacy, with a large fenced-in yard offering plenty of room for kids, pets, or outdoor gatherings. A composite deck off the kitchen and a two-car garage complete the home’s convenience and functionality. A finished walkout lower level adds daylight windows, a full bath, laundry, and bedroom space opening to a private patio. Recent updates—including 200-amp electrical, new plumbing, high-efficiency boiler, A/C, vinyl windows, and trim—provide long-term peace of mind. With a tax abatement through 2030, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained South of Grand classic with space to relax, play, and entertain.
