A healthy way of life starts right here walking to the Farmer's Market for fresh veggies, biking to events and festivals, basking on the rooftop patio with a book, or making space + time for hosting friends/family over to partake in your new free-spirited lifestyle downtown. Delight in the welcoming network of neighbors within the building as well. Homeowners come to Brown Camp and they stay at Brown Camp. Social opportunities, comradery, easy lock-n-leave one-floor living .... no yards to take care of, but plenty of outdoor opportunities to enjoy at Two Rivers Park/Gray's Lake + Water Works Park.Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, gated secure parking, and one amazing 4th floor view. Sunrise over the Des Moines River with a coffee watching the eagles is a pretty special way to live. Flowing water is soothing and therapeutic to be near and the future addition of rapids + trails for kayakers will be a treat to watch from this vantage point. Pour an evening cocktail with city lights and the Iowa State Capitol lit-up as your backdrop; time here is like nowhere else in the metro. A little slice of peace and convenience in a building with exceptional historic charm. Pet-friendly. Offered at $499,000.
