Description

Surrounded by the wooded embrace of Tonawanda Ravine, 115 Tonawanda Drive is a rare convergence of history, privacy, and modern refinement, all set in one of Des Moines most desirable locales - the coveted South of Grand-Salisbury Oaks neighborhood. With a large, ten-foot deep front porch connected to the ten-food deep side screened porch, this residence offers the feel of a secluded lakeside retreat yet sits moments from the cultural, dining, and lifestyle conveniences of the city. It's serenity without sacrifice. This storied home occupies a distinguished place in Des Moines history, once serving as a trolley station and residence of the ticket master, a legacy that lends character and provenance impossible to replicate today. Thoughtfully and comprehensively updated, the home now lives beautifully with modern standards while honoring its past. Recent improvements include a new two-car garage with a finished room above, ideal for a studio, office, or guest retreat; a new driveway, roof, windows, and updated plumbing, along with other upgrades providing both comfort and peace of mind. The natural setting combined with the indoor outdoor living of this residence create a private retreat in the heart of the city, designed for those who value refined living, timeless character, and a setting that feels worlds away. Homes like this do not simply exist, they endure. And opportunities like this are exceedingly rare. Don't miss your opportunity to own this rarefied residence.
