About 118 E Center St
Dabbling with thoughts of a new adventure + downtown living.... well you haven't seen anything like THIS townhome in your search. Seller was one of the first to reserve a parcel at The Banks neighborhood + did he choose well! This prime piece of real estate overlooks the DSM River, the downtown skyline + the neighborhood community space. This 6-plex is the only building at The Banks that has an extra foot of ceiling height on the 2nd floor, 8' doors, a unique winder staircase and most importantly unobstructed views. The city-silhouette + fireworks display are framed perfectly out the windows here. Typically living in a rowhome means a lifestyle where you can lock your home + leave it behind at a moment's notice, case in point here. It often times means everything is 'the same' as well ... not the case for this remarkable building. Slingshot Architecture designed this row as the face of the neighborhood where homes jut forward +back +turn, creating an interesting + noteworthy facade. Part of that design included the largest private front stoop patio in the community at 118 E Center Street. Ideal southern exposure as well; perfect for pots + plantings. Next door enjoy a massive flat + open green space. 3 BR's, 2.5 BA's, a dbl garage w/epoxy coated floor, covered pergola + the perk to being park-side: enjoy live music/activities from the privacy of your own rooftop. Always something new to see. Always something new to do. Very special property being offered at $599K
