Key Facts
Description
Welcome to your next home! Tucked back on over an acre of private, wooded grounds in WDM's sought-after Thornwood development, this custom two-story home offers a rare kind of quiet, with mature trees, birdsong, and space to breathe, just minutes from everything you need. Inside, nearly 4500 square feet of finished living space unfolds across a thoughtfully designed layout with some very unique features and touches. The entrance is just the start to how unique this home is, as it leads you to the kitchen and family room, two rooms that really anchor the home, a home that was once featured in Better Homes and Gardens'. The skylights pull natural light into both the family room and primary suite. A dedicated dining room makes hosting effortless, and a flex-room wrapped in windows opens onto one of th 3 decks this home has to offer, which becomes the ideal spot for morning coffee or evening entertaining. There are two fireplaces, and a 3-car garage that help round out the everyday comforts, while radon mitigation and meticulously maintained mechanicals give you peace of mind. A storage shed/playhouse adds even more flexibility for hobbies, storage, or play. Zoned for West Des Moines schools and offering quick access to I-35, this home pairs an acreage feel with true in-town convenience. Homes like this on private wooded acreage rarely come up in this area. Thanks for looking. We're glad you decided to stay!
