Beautiful remodeled historic Drake Univ home minutes from downtown and all metro
Historic 1895 home completely remodeled with all new bathrooms and kitchen and original hardwood oak floors refinished throughout. Brand new kitchen with island seating and large dining table. Original fireplace with infrared insert. Walking distance to Drake stadium and Knapp center and all facilities. Minutes drive or even bike to downtown and all metro area. So central to almost everywhere in the metro and in a great neighborhood. Just finishing up this remodel now with final touches so book early to be the first ones to use the beautiful space full of original character and updated features. I plan to continue to add to the property with additional touches as time allows. This is a great space to entertain large family gatherings or multiple families and more bedrooms than most single family homes. Fun to imagine what life was like in this historic home back in 1895 in its original glory.
Huge dining table sits 8 comfortably and potentially more with provided extra chairs. Peninsula/island has bar top seating for 3 or 4 more Brand new appliances All new paint and flooring throughout Refinished original oak hardwood floors. All beds and bedding and bathroom towels etc new. Main Living room seats 10 comfortably and more room if extra chairs brought into the space. Upstairs living room seats 4 comfortably and game room with TV and air hockey table and a wall. Mounted infrared fireplace. Massage/heat powered lift reclining chair upstairs. 3 all updated bathrooms including one tub/shower others are shower only.
Outside enjoy a massive front porch with swing and stone table with chairs around. Also a grill is out front on a brand new patio with furniture. Small front yard but enough space to play. Drake University owned open lawn space they use for practice fields etc right across the street for public use to play field games or sports. I also have large portable tailgate tents and some tables and folding chairs that can be rented for $30 if requested before your stay.
Large parking lot in back of house for around 5 cars and another 6 or so can parallel park in the double wide long driveway. Alley access too for convenient entering and exiting or if bringing a trailer.

We stayed here for our annual Friends Trip, and it was a fantastic place for our group. The game room was a huge hit with the kids and kept them entertained for hours. We also loved relaxing together on the front porch—it was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy each other's company. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this property!

Great for a big family get together. Tons of rooms. Game room was a lot of fun. Beds were comfortable. Great location next to Drake. Plenty of parking. Upper level is zoned independently, which was awesome for a summer stay. Some places you need to freeze out the main floor or basement to keep the second floor tolerable and this was NOT the case here. Host was very receptive and great communication. Would recommend and plan to stay here again!

We had a group with 7 kids and 4 adults and this space was perfect. There was enough space for eating, sleeping, showering, and playing! I would highly recommend staying here. The property description said one of the bedrooms had 2 queen beds which was inaccurate. We wish there was more yard to enjoy but we utilized the front porch and front patio area for outdoor grilling and picnicking.

This was the perfect stay for family traveling in from around the US. Easy location for multiple airport trips, space for everyone to eat together, and large comfortable bedrooms. The play space for the 3 year old was more than perfect, with toys and books! We would stay here again. Thank you!

The home is beautiful. Ryan was an awesome host, great communicator. Location is close to everything you need or would want to do. There were 12 of us and all loved that there was enough room to spread out and also be together when we wanted that.
