Step into a Waveland home where time has stood still in all the best ways. Built in 1920 and meticulously kept, this 1.5-story Craftsman preserves the character buyers hope to find but rarely do. A classic swinging parlor door connects the kitchen to the formal dining room, where a beautiful built-in buffet remains a centerpiece. Hardwood floors, generous gathering spaces, and previously updated bathrooms balance vintage charm with everyday comfort. The main floor offers two bedrooms and a full bath. Upstairs, the finished attic creates an apartment-style efficiency with one bedroom, a small kitchen, and a full bath, bringing the home to three bedrooms and two baths. Evidence suggests the main and upper floors may once have been connected internally; however, that access is not guaranteed and buyers should independently verify. Outside, the expansive 15,332-square-foot lot offers uncommon breathing room in the city, complemented by a two-car detached garage. With 1,827 square feet, central air, an unfinished basement, and a location in the sought-after Waveland neighborhood, this is more than a house—it is a beautifully preserved piece of Des Moines history ready for its next chapter.
