Property Description
Coffee on the front porch is a lovely way to start the day at 1812 Forest Ave, a storybook Craftsman in Des Moines, Iowa. Inside, rich Craftsman woodwork, a decorative fireplace, and a charming dining hutch set the scene for cozy evenings and dinners around the table. Both main-level bedrooms feature beautiful wood floors, and the galley kitchen has an eat-in nook for slow weekend breakfasts. The home offers just under 1,200 finished square feet, with two bedrooms and one bath on the 893-square-foot main level. The basement adds 300 finished square feet, including a second living room or rec room and a third, nonconforming bedroom. Spend summer evenings in the large fenced yard, with parking in the one-car garage off the alley or in the front parking area behind a movable gate. Head to nearby Drake University and the Dogtown district for local coffee shops, restaurants, and specialty stores. Broadlawns Medical Center, Iowa Methodist Medical Center, and downtown Des Moines are also nearby.
