Park Life Remodel Project

Park Life 

A Classic Home, Reimagined for Modern Family Living in the Heart of Greenwood-Ashworth Park 

Welcome to Park Life—a thoughtfully reimagined residence tucked into one of Des Moines’ most picturesque and coveted neighborhoods: South of Grand, within the lush surroundings of Greenwood-Ashworth Park. Surrounded by mature trees, vibrant walking trails, sledding hills, playgrounds, and top-rated schools, this 5,011-square-foot home offers something truly rare: a timeless retreat with every urban and outdoor amenity at your doorstep. 

Originally built in the 1950s and reshaped over the decades, this home had lost its architectural clarity and livability. In collaboration with Riesberg Design Group and Elizabeth Erin Designs, the team at Alair Des Moines undertook a full-scale renovation to reestablish balance, beauty, and function. 

The result is a complete transformation—one that honors the character of the original home while introducing a layout and features designed to meet the needs of today’s discerning families. 

A Home Designed to Grow With You 

• A fully reworked floor plan that restores flow, formality, and function
• Restored original hardwood floors by Five G’s Construction
• Timeless finishes, traditional detailing, and modern conveniences
• Cabinetry by Amish Cabinet Co, lighting by Spectrum Lighting, and appliances from Green’s
• Elegant tile and carpet work by Luke Brothers Flooring
• Kohler plumbing fixtures throughout 

From the inside out, every surface and space has been touched with intention—from the extensive exterior restoration to the carefully curated interiors that reflect both tradition and elevated taste. 

A Home With Purpose 

Park Life isn’t just a renovation—it’s a reintroduction. A home once lost in decades of disjointed updates has been reborn as a flagship project for Alair Des Moines, signaling our commitment to enriching historic neighborhoods with homes that respect the past while embracing the future. 

Location Perfection 

Situated in a park within the city, Park Life is minutes from Des Moines’ best schools, vibrant Ingersoll Avenue, and surrounded by trails, splash pads, and nature. It’s an ideal setting for a growing family seeking balance between peaceful living and cultural connection. 

Real Families. Real Feedback. 

Throughout the design process, potential buyers and community members were invited into the space to share insights. Their feedback directly shaped the layout and finish selections, resulting in a home that not only reflects design integrity—but also real-world livability.
