Majestic views, unrivaled privacy. Walls of glass invite incredible natural light and frame every sunset. From morning coffee on the deck with automatic screens to summer evenings during the Principal Classic, this home is designed to live both beautifully and effortlessly—with lawn care and snow removal handled for you. Where every season feels easy. Inside, a complete reimagining by Remodeling Des Moines blends organic modern style with timeless comfort. The kitchen is a work of art, featuring a 13-foot quartz and walnut island, 7-foot backsplash, and 48-inch gas range. The living room centers on a linear fireplace with a floating stone mantel, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling built-ins and warm hardwoods. Five bedrooms, a glass-enclosed fitness room, main floor den, a walkout lower level with bar, and a serene primary suite with spa-like bath provide space to retreat, recharge, and entertain. And when it’s time to unwind, step outside to a setting unlike any other—overlooking a tranquil pond and the legendary fairways of Wakonda Golf Course, an icon of Des Moines living. The finest address on Park Avenue—where convenience meets luxury and every detail elevates daily living.
