1125 18th St, West Des Moines, IA 50265

In the heart of West Des Moines, a little slice of country awaits. Located in the established Des Moines Golf and Country Club neighborhood, this distinctive brick walkout 1½-story home rests on an extraordinary .77-acre lot. Towering mature trees, gardens and sprawling lawns create a secluded, park-like setting just minutes from Dowling and Valley High Schools. With the ease of main-floor living and an architectural personality all its own, the interior unfolds into generous gathering spaces, stunning white oak hardwood floors, a striking limestone fireplace and a second fireplace in the family room. There's room to host a crowd, yet plenty of inviting corners to simply relax. The spectacular vaulted four season sun room may be the home's most memorable feature. Soaring windows and skylights frame the changing seasons, from brilliant autumn colors to snow gently falling beyond the glass. Imagine morning coffee here or evenings spent overlooking your own private retreat. Step outside and it's easy to forget you're in the middle of the city. Sprawling lawns, mature trees, multi-level patios, a pond and firepit create a setting made for memorable gatherings, quiet evenings and everything in between. There's even room to indulge a love of gardening, complete with a garden shed. The circular driveway offers ample parking for guests, while a four-car tuck-under garage provides exceptional space for vehicles and storage. A slice of country living in the heart of West Des Moines.
