900 Ash St

Up for rent is our fabulous 5-Bedroom Victorian home, "Woodcroft". This gracious home was once part of the successful farm of a prominent veterinarian at the edge of town, and still comprises the main house, the original carriage house now a large garage, an authentic summer kitchen, and more than one-half acre of yard to play or relax in. Woodcroft is the largest of our Victorian homes in Dallas Center and was fully remodeled just a year and a half ago, featuring a beautiful new kitchen with Cardell "Soft Close" cabinetry, gorgeous stainless-steel appliances, and real quartz countertops. The home has two full baths, one per floor, including one fully remodeled with a modern flair including a unique corner shower, the other an original bathroom now fully restored with new fixtures, original tub, ceramic tile shower and floor, and vintage radiator. The original vintage oak hardwood floors were restored in the large entry foyer, the formal dining room, and the main living room parlor. The bedrooms and other areas of the home were all newly carpeted in 60-ounce fine carpeting, and the original oak grand staircase was restored and beautified. The doctor's first floor study is now a gracious guest room, and four large family bedrooms appear on the second floor, including one formerly used for a household employee. With a new roof, new storm windows, gorgeous rebuilt Victorian porches, beautiful stained-glass, leaded and beveled windows, and all the room you can imagine for you, your family, and your hobbies or business, Woodcroft has the grace to handle it all. A fine utility basement houses multiple areas for storage, as well as the heating and water heating appliances. On the main floor, a beautiful front loading laundry pair is provided in the laundry room attached to the new kitchen, and lovely cut glass partition doors close to provide privacy to the living room. Woodcroft is at the end of a cul-de-sac, with no through traffic passing near, yet stands within a block of the town's newest park, Centennial Park just behind the property. Dallas Center is a charming, yet progressive community, within easy driving distance of Des Moines, West Des Moines, Waukee, Grimes, Adel, Urbandale, Johnston, Ankeny, and Clive. Known for its easy lifestyle and safe neighborhoods, Dallas Center is fast becoming the choice for young families and retired persons alike.
