Behind a private drive and surrounded by mature woods, this extraordinary West Des Moines estate offers an uncommon combination of privacy, space and convenience. Set on more than an acre and tucked away, the property feels like a private retreat while remaining conveniently connected to the greater Des Moines area.
Built in 2009 with distinctive Tudor-inspired architecture, the home underwent an extensive top-to-bottom remodel in 2019, bringing together timeless character and modern luxury. The open-concept interior features more than 5,000 finished square feet, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Thermador appliances, beautiful flooring, extensive built-ins and thoughtful storage throughout.
And then there is the backyard.
Designed for everything from everyday family life to unforgettable entertaining, the private outdoor space features a heated in-ground pool, two large decks, walkout patio and an impressive 30' x 60' sports court with a dedicated net system and outdoor lighting. A separate stone patio creates another destination with a fire pit and stone pizza oven, while landscape audio allows music to follow you throughout the backyard.
The pool house extends the outdoor living season and also provides flexibility for guests, in-law or nanny suite, with heating and air conditioning, a kitchenette, filtered water and a ¾ bath.
Three large bedrooms occupy the upper level, including a private ensuite bedroom and two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. The finished lower level adds remarkable flexibility with a fifth bedroom and walk-in closet, full bathroom, home office, theater, wet bar, radiant heated floors and abundant storage.
Inside and out, this home was designed with comfort and technology in mind. Geothermal heating and cooling with zoned controls, radiant floor heating, whole-house water softener and filtration, a Savant home automation system and a business-grade home network provide an exceptional level of comfort, convenience and peace of mind.
