About this home
A rare opportunity in the iconic Waterbury neighborhood with this extraordinary early 1920s estate that has been thoughtfully reimagined with more than $3 million in upgrades. Blending timeless architectural charm with modern luxury, this remarkable home offers over 4,000 square feet of finished living space, 5 bathrooms, and a level of craftsmanship rarely found. The floor plan features 3 bedrooms, with the potential for a creative homeowner to easily add a 4th and possibly 5th bedroom. Texas barnwood hardwood floors, fully functioning fireplaces, and elegant finishes at every turn. The kitchen features high-end appliances, including a Jenn-Air refrigerator, a massive pantry, wine fridge, and dedicated wine room on the bottom level. The former sunroom, now a stunning dining space has heated floors. Comfort and accessibility were carefully considered with zero-entry throughout the home, an elevator, heated floors in three of the bathrooms, and heated concrete leading from the garage and in front of the garage. The primary suite features a spa-inspired bathroom with an oversized soaking tub and a hidden laundry chute from the primary closet — just one of the many unique features throughout this home. Outside, enjoy a private oasis with a deck overlooking the saltwater pool, custom fire pit, fully fenced yard, and a separate fenced garden area. A true Waterbury masterpiece, this exceptional property offers historic charm in one of Des Moines’ most treasured neighborhoods....
