Some homes have a view. This one was built around one. Three acres, a creek, a tree-lined ridge to the west, and a dining room window that frames sunset like a painting. Custom built in 2015, this 3,200 finished square foot ranch with finished walkout delivers 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with a level of detail rare at this price. Solid walnut floors just refinished, fresh carpet, freshly painted throughout. Move in and unpack. Inside: 11-foot ceilings in the great room, picture windows framing the back of the property, linear fireplace, and a chef's kitchen with quartz counters, two-toned custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. The main-floor primary suite is a retreat in itself with two separate baths, one with a tiled walk-in shower, the other with a soaking tub set beside a picture window overlooking the pasture and ridge. A switch-back staircase with picture windows leads to the finished walkout, with three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a family room with wet bar. Don't miss the hidden utility room behind a swinging bookshelf. The 3.23-acre lot features native Iowa grass with a mowed walking path and a gentle rise to the back property line. Paved road, paved driveway. Oversized attached three-car garage with hot and cold water spigot. Outdoor shed. Well and septic. Minutes to the new Granger Fareway, Jester Park, Saylorville Lake, and the High Trestle Trail. An easy commute to West Des Moines or downtown Des Moines via Hwy 141.
