About 1530 9th St
If you’ve been looking for a home that feels like it has a story to tell—this is it. This 5-bedroom, 2-bath Victorian sits on a fenced lot just north of downtown Des Moines. It’s been updated where it counts but still holds onto the kind of character you can’t fake: original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, wide trim, and a formal dining room that begs to host Thanksgiving. There’s a dedicated office, perfect for remote work—or just shutting the door when the house gets loud. Upstairs, the third floor was finished in 2021 with a master bedroom and bathroom, fully heated and cooled with its own mini split. Great for guests, teenagers, or your own quiet retreat. The kitchen and baths have been tastefully updated, offering modern convenience without sacrificing the home’s historic vibe. Outside, the yard is fenced and ready for dogs, kids, or garden beds and a new roof in 2022.
