Sold in Waveland! 🎉

I’m excited to share that 4504 Kingman Boulevard in Des Moines has officially closed. This 1914 charmer won hearts with its pointed archways, warm hardwood floors, sunroom, and that rare double corner lot—classic character that’s hard to find in today’s market.

We’re still seeing strong interest in historic homes with outdoor living space and thoughtful layouts like this one. If you’re thinking about selling a character home, small updates to curb appeal and outdoor areas can make a big impact.
