This home is perfect for home buyers with a passion for conserving local history. This rare, turn-of-the-19th-century “double house” is for sale in Sherman Hill, ready to function as a quirky, turnkey family residence, or split up into a high-potential investment opportunity. Created out of two symmetrical buildings at 618 and 620 16th St. in Des Moines, home ownership equals two kitchens, two laundry spaces, two front doors, and a grand total of 13 rooms to spark the imagination. The original developers envisaged owners would live on one side of the house and pay the bills by renting out the other. Today, the layout of the Italianate-style, 4,247-square-foot home at the corner of 16th Street and Woodland Avenue features three bedrooms and three bathrooms on each side of the house, and access via the front or rear porches. The footprint allows an extended family to live side-by-side, each with their own independence and privacy. Tap the link in our bio for more photos. 📸 : vhtstud...
