Located at 104 SW Fourth St in the heart of downtown Des Moines, Iowa, this loft-style unit offers a distinctive industrial aesthetic across a single floor. Soaring ceilings throughout create a dramatically open atmosphere, accentuated by exposed ductwork and structural elements that speak to the building's urban character. Polished concrete floors with warm, variegated tones run continuously throughout the space, lending a sleek yet raw quality underfoot. The kitchen is a standout feature, equipped with rich dark wood cabinetry, granite-style countertops, and black appliances including a gas range, built-in microwave, and refrigerator. A peninsula island provides additional prep space and casual seating, while large windows frame views of the surrounding downtown skyline, flooding the area with natural light. Pendant lighting suspended from the high ceilings adds an inviting glow. The living and bedroom areas are open and versatile, featuring dark wood door and window trim that contrasts smartly against the light walls. A closet with built-in shelving offers practical storage. The bathroom is clean and functional, featuring a full tub-shower combination, a wood-toned vanity, and consistent concrete flooring. A ceiling fan and accessible electrical panel complete the practical amenities of this urban downtown residence.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
