Property Description

Nows yours chance to own an incredible piece of Des Moines history with the Rev. R.W. and Fannie E. Keeler House. Built in 1889 by local contractor-builders Detwiler and Bedford, this distinctive 2½-story home is recognized as one of the city's best examples of the attic balcony gable subtype of the Stick Style. Rich in character and architectural detail, the home features a hip and gabled roof, decorative trussed attic balconies supported by large ornamental brackets, wide bracketed overhanging eaves, and wood clapboard siding enhanced by decorative horizontal board patterns. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, the property offers 2,970 finished square feet PLUS 550 square feet of unfinished space in the attic, giving a rare opportunity for the next owner to personalize and complete additional living area while honoring the home's historic charm. Set on an impressive .6-acre lot, the home offers even more outside space than anything found nearby. There may also be opportunities to explore grants or incentives available for historic properties, adding even more potential to this one-of-a-kind home!
