Located on a 1-acre wooded cul-de-sac lot in Quail Park, an upscale neighborhood in West Des Moines, is this 5,200 SF 2 story home with a 16’x40’ fiberglass saltwater heated swimming pool, installed in 2020, that features built-in spa and shallow wade-in area, which is great for younger kids to play, or adults to lounge in the water, plus there are steps in the water to walk gradually into the deeper end. There is also an outdoor fire pit, fireplace, and outdoor projector. The house features 5 BRs, 4.5 baths, with finished walk-out basement, formal dining, two offices on the first floor (one is very private for work from home). The kitchen has an island, Sub-Zero refrigerator and gas cook top. There is also a drop zone from the garage, first floor laundry room, double split stair way, elegant circle drive for easy pick-up or drop-off. The finished walk-out basement has 1,700 SF finished including a very large 18’x36’ rec room with a fireplace, separate video room, an exercise room, a 5th bedroom and ¾ bath. Quail Park homes aren’t for sale very often. Better take a look right away.
