This stunning all-brick home blends timeless charm with modern updates and is currently priced $25,000 below August 2025 appraisal-an incredible value you don't want to miss. The original woodwork and detailing throughout were once described as "far surpassing any of the houses" remodeled or flipped nearby-and it's true. If you value authentic quality and tasteful historic character over painted reproduction flash, this home will speak to your soul. This property has never been flipped-it's been lovingly preserved. Every update has been done purposefully and with respect for its heritage. The gleaming hardwood floors, Edison light fixtures, and stunning stained-glass window remain intact, celebrating the home's old-world charm. The remodeled kitchen provides modern function while honoring its vintage roots. The finished attic is a peaceful retreat that can be a primary or teenagers dream space.. A 3-season room opens to the fenced backyard, and the original carriage house has been converted to a 3-car garage with loft storage. The fireplace has been updated with gas logs, retaining its historical centerpiece. Set in a diverse, welcoming neighborhood near Drake University, this home has truly stood the test of time-offering a rare chance to own genuine craftsmanship in a world of quick makeovers.
