Fresh interior paint completed March 2026 - move in (or rent it out) the day you close.
The seller is including a full 1-year home warranty for a smooth, stress-free start.
Fitness center, community room, a private 6×10 storage unit, and a rooftop deck redone in 2025.
Exposed brick. Polished concrete floors. Open ductwork overhead and a rooftop view of the Des Moines skyline. Unit #203 at Mulberry Lofts - the beautifully converted Harger Blish building, standing since 1919 - delivers authentic industrial loft character that new construction simply can't replicate. And because this one comes fully turn-key, you can move in (or rent it out) the day you close.
Step through the door and the loft opens up in front of you - one continuous, light-filled living space framed by original exposed brick and warm-toned concrete floors. The open layout gives you real flexibility: living room, work-from-home corner, and dining space arrange however your life demands.
The kitchen flows directly into the living area, keeping the conversation going whether you're cooking for one or hosting friends before a night out on Mulberry Street. Past the living space, the bedroom area offers a generous closet, and the bathroom features a large tiled shower with the same clean, industrial-modern finish carried throughout the unit.
Mulberry Lofts' rooftop deck - completely redone in 2025 - overlooks the downtown Des Moines skyline and is built for entertaining. Add the on-site fitness center, community room, and your own private 6×10 storage unit, and the HOA works hard for you.
At $169,000 ($208 per square foot), this condo is a straightforward entry point into downtown Des Moines real estate - whether you're a first-time buyer ready to stop renting, an investor adding a low-maintenance downtown unit, or a seasonal owner who wants a lock-and-leave home base in Central Iowa. Want to run the numbers? I'm happy to walk you through them.
From 11th and Mulberry, you're a short walk to some of the city's best food and gathering spots - Mulberry Tavern, the Surety Hotel, Western Gateway Park, and the Downtown Farmers' Market - yet tucked just far enough from the core to keep evenings quiet. Commutes are simple too, with quick access to I-235 connecting you across the metro in minutes.
