Rare opportunity to own a true contemporary home on one of the most coveted streets in Des Moines. Featured twice in dsm magazine, this iconic property showcases high design from its origin alongside consistent, high-end renovations over the years. A true entertainer's home, it features expansive open-concept living on the main level flooded with natural light from all directions. The timeless kitchen by Silent Rivers is a true work of art. Beautiful custom millwork is highlighted in the living room, featuring flush cabinetry and illuminated open display shelving. A large private executive office is tucked off the living room, complete with rear patio access, and a powder room. A minimalist open staircase in the center of the home leads to the 2nd level's split-bedroom wings. Each wing features its own covered deck, with 2 bedrooms and a full bath on one end. The primary wing is a showstopper, boasting a massive walk-in closet and a beautifully executed galley-style bathroom. The lower level features a rec room with a wet bar, a 4th bedroom with new Pella Impervia windows, laundry area, and a 3/4 bath. Outside, you'll find landscaping by Ted Lare and a huge backyard ready for your outdoor vision. New furnace, A/C, carpet & paint just completed.
