Priced $20,000 below its recent appraised value, The Barbican is one of Des Moines’ most iconic condominium communities—an award-winning late modernist landmark designed by architect Mark C. Engelbrecht. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated 1-bedroom, 2-bath residence on the third floor of this architectural gem. Thoughtfully reimagined by Crose & Lemke Construction, the home blends striking design with everyday functionality. The statement kitchen features custom cabinetry and a dramatic piano-shaped island that anchors the space and invites gathering. Large windows and three sliding glass doors flood the home with natural light and open to a covered, circular balcony. The open floor plan flows seamlessly from kitchen to dining and living areas, accented by sleek custom bu ilt-ins. The balcony overlooks meticulously maintained gardens and a tranquil tree line, creating a peaceful retreat. The spacious bedroom offers an ensuite bath with a jacuzzi tub and a generous closet. A separate laundry room with sink and ample storage adds convenience. Residents enjoy premium amenities including an indoor pool, fitness center, locker rooms, a community room with kitchen, a reservable guest suite, and a beautifully maintained community garden that serves as a relaxed gathering space for neighbors. Indoor parking and a central location complete this exceptional offering—where architectural significance meets modern comfort.
