Property Description

A rare blend of historic architecture, gracious family living & exceptional entertaining space, this nearly 5,000-square-foot Tudor is set in the heart of Des Moines, coveted Waterbury neighborhood. Rich in original detail yet thoughtfully updated for modern life, the home has a warmth & character that simply cannot be replicated. Enter through the hand-carved front door into a welcoming foyer showcasing original walnut millwork, wainscoting, & dentil molding. The formal dining room flows into an eat-in kitchen designed for serious cooking & gathering, featuring a 7-burner Lacanche Sully range from France, a custom copper hood, custom cabinetry, & three pantries. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases and a charming windowed nook. Just beyond, a bonus room with original blue slate flooring offers a more casual space. A powder room and large walk-in coat closet complete the main level. Three separate sets of doors across the rear of the house create an effortless connection to the patio, completed in 2025. A striking staircase leads to the second floor with four spacious bedrooms and three full baths. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the primary suite includes a walk-in dressing room and a private balcony overlooking the side yard. The finished third floor is ideal as a home office, teen retreat, or guest space. The attached 2-car garage has AC/heat, while the detached 2-car garage offers generous attic storage.
