Overview

Do you love the charm and character of historic homes, but worry about the cost and uncertainty of taking one on? This historic Drake home is where timeless character meets major modern reconstruction. The extensive behind-the-scenes work has already been completed, providing buyers with rare peace of mind in a beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home. Major updates include a new foundation, roof, windows, mechanicals, and more — all while preserving the warmth and character that buyers seek in the Drake neighborhood. Unlike many historic homes, this one offers a brand-new lower level designed for usable future living space, with 9-ft ceilings, large egress windows, and room to add additional bedrooms, a bath, and a living area — creating a clear path for future equity. The open main floor, inviting kitchen, spacious drop zone, new 2-car garage, and 10-year tax abatement make this a rare opportunity near Drake University, local restaurants, downtown, and ongoing Invest DSM neighborhood reinvestment.
