Nearly 3,500 sq ft of beautifully finished living space on a rare 1.37-acre in-town acreage, offering the space and privacy you want while still being just minutes from downtown Des Moines. Built with character and thoughtful extras throughout, this spacious ranch welcomes you with a beautiful entryway and an open, light-filled floor plan. Oversized windows in the kitchen and dining area capture incredible morning light and showcase expansive views of the property. The kitchen features white cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, a vented hood, gas range, large pantry, and an oversized granite island perfect for gathering. The spacious dining area opens to a huge deck overlooking the backyard, while the living room features an electric fireplace flanked by built-in shelving. A formal office with French doors and wainscoting provides a dedicated work-from-home space. The primary suite is a true retreat with a trayed ceiling, private deck access, separate vanity areas, jetted tub, and an impressive tiled shower with a bench and dual shower heads. A second main-level bedroom is conveniently located near a full tiled bath with built-in niches, plus a separate half bath for guests. The walkout lower level is anything but an afterthought, with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a layout that truly feels like an extension of the main floor. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, with plenty of room for entertaining and an abundance of storage. Outside, enjoy the oversized deck, patio below, and 1.37 acres with room to spread out. Additional features include a large mudroom, recently installed radon mitigation system, and an oversized 3-car garage with an impressive 828 sq ft of space. All of this just a five-minute drive from Gray's Lake, Francie's, Fleur Cinema, and other south-side favorites, with quick access to downtown. A hard-to-find combination of newer construction, acreage, views, space, and convenience right in the city.
