Welcome to 678 26th Street in the heart of desirable Woodland Heights! This beautifully renovated home blends timeless early-20th-century character with modern comforts after a complete transformation. Every major system and exterior element has been renewed: brand-new siding, roof, windows (select originals carefully restored), concrete, garage, and landscaping. A striking new front porch was designed to look and feel like a classic 100-year-old porch, while a covered deck was added at the rear for year-round outdoor living. Inside, step onto brand-new ¾-inch hardwood floors and admire the meticulously restored and replicated trim package. The original staircase has been thoughtfully restored, and all mechanicals plus the water line are brand new. The home features a massive primary suite plus three additional sizable bedrooms, delivering the space and flexibility today's buyers want while preserving the neighborhood's historic soul. Located just minutes from downtown Des Moines, Ingersoll Avenue's shops and restaurants, Drake University, and nearby parks, this turnkey Woodland Heights gem is ready for its next chapter. Don't miss this rare combination of full renovation quality and classic charm
