Welcome to Diamondhead Lake- Iowa's best kept secret! This hidden gem is just a 30-minute drive from the Jordan Creek area in West Des Moines. This property provides the absolute BEST views of the lake and has over 1700+ SF of living space. This layout is so conducive to lake living. As you walk in a spacious kitchen greets you, with a generous size living room and dining room all on this level. Right off your living space, the best outdoor living space gives you gorgeous views of the lake and woods on the other side of the lake. The covered deck is the best place to hang out and is sure to be used at your new lake home. Up just a few stairs you will find 2 bedrooms, one big enough to fit a king bed-a rare find at Diamondhead, and a full bath. Downstairs you will find 2 bedrooms and a 3/4 bath. The walkout lot provides you access to hop on the water quickly. The basement is also waterproofed and has had all electrical work redone. A nice sized 2 car garage gives you some storage for the winter months for all your lake equipment or to park your vehicles in. This unique home is a great opportunity to be lakefront at Diamondhead Lake. Tons of amenities are included in this association- bow hunting, a disc golf course, miles of ATV trails, children’s play areas, a dog park, and multiple fishing ponds in addition to the lake.
