This beautifully restored Victorian home graces a 5.76 acre parcel on pavement less than 20 minutes from West Des Moines, Winterset, Van Meter and Norwalk. The property includes a large yard, a 40x60 ft barn, approximately 4 acres of fenced pasture and an oversized garage. Surrounded by mature trees, the home nestles easily into the farmland around it, the front porch beckoning to "come and sit a spell". This homestead has undergone extensive work in the past 30 years including the house's new foundation, completely replaced plumbing and wiring, restored or replaced windows, central air conditioning, fiber optic internet, new roofing and complete insulation. An addition built in 2003 seamlessly melds with the original structure. The home is filled with refinished original woodwork with woodwork made to match in the 2003 addition. Hardwood floors are featured throughout. The first floor has a tiled mud room, large eat-in kitchen, dining room, 2-room living room with built in cherry bookcases, large office with oak cabinetry and a small office or toy room. Two sets of pocket doors allow rooms to be used flexibly. A coat closet is tucked under the beautiful original light-filled staircase. The second floor bedrooms are all good sized with closets including one walk-in closet. The bathroom features a clawfoot tub, a separate shower stall and 2 sinks. There is also a large linen closet, walk-up stairway to the unfinished attic, and a back stairway. The basement is largely unfinished but is a comfortable play or work space. The basement bathroom has a glass block tiled shower with 2 shower heads. Laundry hook-up and deep sink are located in the basement. The oversized heated 2 car garage was built in 1994 and has workshop space and a loft. The bank barn was built in 1999 with the look of a historic barn but functioning as a modern flex-use outbuilding. The main floor is concrete with only 2 posts to facilitate parking vehicles and equipment. A stage across the end converts the space to a great entertainment venue. Stairs lead to a loft above with "hay mow" doors on both ends. Livestock pens are in the barn basement which opens up to the fenced pasture. Water hydrants are located on the main floor, basement and outside the barn.
