Overview

Rare opportunity to own a piece of history in Des Moines’ highly sought-after Owl’s Head neighborhood. The Harbach House, built in 1907, is a 3 story Dutch Colonial Revival showcasing timeless architecture with its distinctive porch design and iconic columns. Hardwood floors flow throughout while modern updates blend seamlessly with the home’s historic charm. The fully remodeled kitchen by Alt Design includes a walk-in pantry, gas stove, farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, coffee bar, and built-in bench seating. Gather in the formal dining room, enjoy the brick surround fireplace with gas insert, or retreat to the cozy library. The main floor also features a half bath and screened-in porch. Step outside to the backyard where a brick patio and raised garden beds provide the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, or gardening. Upstairs, the newly updated primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a zero-entry walk-in tile shower, soaking tub, custom vanity, walk-in closet, and attached office or additional bedroom. Two more bedrooms share a full bath. The third floor, once a ballroom, has been transformed into a versatile great room with a fifth bedroom. This space is ideal for a family room, exercise space, or play area. The waterproofed basement, radon system, and new boiler add peace of mind. Located in a vibrant neighborhood known for its Labor Day block parties and strong sense of community. You will love living here!
