Single Family Residence in Des Moines, IA

This one-of-a-kind contemporary home, originally built in 1977 by an architect for his personal residence, offers privacy, character, and timeless style. Situated on a beautifully wooded half-acre lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, the property backs to 10 acres of undevelopable land and adjoins an elementary school yard with a walking path and updated playground. Inside, earth tones, natural materials, and expansive (recently replaced) windows fill the home with natural light and bring the outdoors in. A brick foyer welcomes you and leads through a hallway perfect for a gallery wall into the open-concept living and dining area, featuring a Midcentury Modern white enamel wood-burning fireplace. The home features zoned heating and cooling with individual thermostats in each room for personalized comfort. The kitchen offers granite countertops, original Wood-Mode cabinetry, pocket doors, and a spacious walk-in pantry. The main-level primary suite includes an ensuite bath with sink and shower. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The larger bedroom boasts a dressing room with a built-in dresser, sink, and generous walk-in closet. The second bedroom includes an adjacent office space, private access to the bathroom, and a charming princess balcony. The basement includes a non-conforming bedroom that is pre-plumbed for a future bathroom, offering great potential for additional finished space.
