Sitting on just over 2 acres of beautiful Iowa countryside, this unique home was built in 1871 and has over 2700 sq ft of finished space. Originally renovated in 1975 by Architect Steve Mead of Better Homes and Gardens, this home continues to wow with incredible original features like the fourteen by ten foot Gothic front window and the three feet by ten feet Romanesque side windows. The bell tower is one of the home's best features; it's a great spot to stargaze or watch the entire Des Moines metro's 4th of July fireworks. Natural light fills this open concept 4 bedroom and 3 bath home. You'll love this location; it's a few miles from Badger Creek State Park, where you can walk through the sunflower fields or fish in the 276 acre lake. There is so much to appreciate about this historic home. Call a Realtor today to set up a private showing.
