This one has a story. ✨

Tucked into the heart of the Drake neighborhood, this beautifully renovated historic home is packed with the kind of character you just can’t recreate. And the history? Pretty incredible. The original barn behind the home is where the Animal Rescue League got its start. 🐱 🐶

Inside, the original hand-crafted trim and woodwork absolutely steal the show. These details have been lovingly preserved throughout the home, showcasing the craftsmanship, warmth, and personality that make old houses so special. It’s the good stuff, the kind of detail we’re always begging people not to paint over. 😉

With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, and two primary suites, there’s plenty of room to spread out. The massive kitchen is made for gathering, hosting, and everyday life, while thoughtful renovations throughout bring in the modern functionality you want without stripping away what made this home special in the first place.

Historic charm, beautifully preserved original details, modern updates, and a seriously cool piece of Des Moines history.

They just don’t make them like this anymore. 👏

Say hello to our next two new builds about to break ground in Columbus Park 🏡 exterior finishes have been set, interior selections are up next!

The announcement of Sherwin-Williams 2027 Color of the Year has us wanting to skip right past winter and jump into spring. Just as new blooms give a sense of fresh perspectives, this airy green feels like a much needed reset.

Harmony, clarity, and comfort describe this hue’s potential to create inviting spaces and bring calm to everyday life. Easily paired with tones of purple, red, and blue, Celery can feel both soft and organic, or balanced and grounded. This one gets an all resounding approval from our team 🍈🍠🌿🌊🥬🥀

313 E Granger Ave was designed to create a fresh, welcoming feel with finishes that add warmth and interest throughout. Each selection was made to work together while still giving every space a little personality of its own.

This 3 bed, 2.5 bath home is set in an established Des Moines neighborhood with downtown and the East Village just minutes away, creating the perfect mix of neighborhood charm and easy city access. We love watching all the details come together into a finished home🏡✨
