About this home
Surrounded by the wooded embrace of Tonawanda Ravine, 115 Tonawanda Drive is a rare convergence of history, privacy, and modern refinement, all set in one of Des Moines most desirable locales - the coveted South of Grand-Salisbury Oaks neighborhood. The highlight of this residence are the large, ten-foot deep front porch and side screened porch, creating the feeling of a secluded lakeside retreat yet sits moments from the cultural, dining, and lifestyle conveniences of the city. It's serenity without sacrifice. This storied home occupies a distinguished place in Des Moines history, once serving as a trolley station and ticket master residence - a legacy that lends character and provenance impossible to replicate today. Thoughtfully and comprehensively updated, the home now lives beautifully with modern standards while honoring its past. Improvements include: new two-car garage with a finished room above for a studio, office, or guest retreat; a new driveway, new washer and dryer, 7-person salt water hot tub, newer roof, windows, and updated plumbing, providing comfort and peace of mind. The natural setting combined with the indoor outdoor living of this residence create a private retreat in the heart of the city, designed for those who value refined living, timeless character, and a setting that feels worlds away. Homes like this do not simply exist, they endure. And opportunities like this are exceedingly rare. Don't miss your opportunity to own this rarefied residence!...
