Property Description

Looking for that hard-to-find gem in Des Moines? Situated on just under an acre, this exceptionally well-maintained home offers 5 bedrooms, including two primary suites—one on the main floor.
The outdoor space is a standout. The manicured front yard is framed by mature trees, while the backyard is an entertainer's dream with a large deck, gas grill, hot tub, pool, half bath, gazebo, and a pool house with appliances, A/C, and workshop. Additional features include a pool shed, additional storage shed and RV parking with electrical hookup.
Beyond the pool area, you'll find nearly half an acre of open, unobstructed land—fully fenced and complete with two oversized sheds perfect for hobbies or urban farming.
Inside, hardwood floors highlight the dining room, and a cozy sitting area off the main floor primary suite offers the perfect space for a reading nook or private retreat. The kitchen, complete with a dedicated dining area, flows seamlessly into the family room featuring elegant wood ceiling beams, a gas fireplace, and direct access to the backyard.
Upstairs offers four bedrooms, including a second primary suite with a walk-in shower, along with a full bathroom and generous closet space throughout. Each room has beautiful views of the surrounding green space.
The lower level provides abundant storage with built-in cabinetry and flexible space to fit your needs.
A rare opportunity offering space, function, and outdoor living near shopping, Easter Lake, and downtown.
