Property Description

Step into timeless elegance with this Victorian two-story, the historic Lampson P. Sherman House, located in the heart of Drake neighborhood. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this late Victorian home—built in 1883—stands as a rare example of Des Moines history tied to the early development of Drake University.

This 2-story home showcases crossed gables, a distinctive cross-shaped layout, & preserved architectural details including original shingle work in the gable ends, decorative brackets, and turned porch columns. Inside, you'll find nearly 3,000 sq. ft. of living space, 3 bedrooms, 3 three-quarter bathrooms, and 3 fireplaces. The main floor offers warm, inviting living areas filled with historic charm, while the second floor houses all bedrooms & convenient laundry. A finished attic, served by central HVAC, provides flexible space perfect for a studio, playroom, or guest retreat.

The full basement extends your living options, featuring the home's third fireplace & additional finished rooms for storage or entertainment. Outside, enjoy a large covered front porch, a rear deck, and a detached 2-car garage built in 2006.

Situated on a corner lot close to schools, parks, and all that Des Moines has to offer, this home also falls within NFC and Invest DSM lending areas—making renovation grants and loans more accessible. Own a true piece of local history with enduring architectural character.
