## Description

### Agent Description
Looking for that hard-to-find gem in Des Moines? Situated on just under an acre, this exceptionally well-maintained home offers 5 bedrooms, including two primary suites-one on the main floor. The outdoor space is a standout. The manicured front yard is framed by mature trees, while the backyard is an entertainer's dream with a large deck, gas grill, hot tub, pool, half bath, gazebo, and a pool house with appliances, A/C, and workshop. Additional features include a pool shed, additional storage shed and RV parking with electrical hookup. Beyond the pool area, you'll find nearly half an acre of open, unobstructed land-fully fenced and complete with two oversized sheds perfect for hobbies or urban farming. Inside, hardwood floors highlight the dining room, and a cozy sitting area off the main floor primary suite offers the perfect space for a reading nook or private retreat. The kitchen, complete with a dedicated dining area, flows seamlessly into the family room featuring elegant wood ceiling beams, a gas fireplace, and direct access to the backyard. Upstairs offers four bedrooms, including a second primary suite with a walk-in shower, along with a full bathroom and generous closet space throughout. Each room has beautiful views of the surrounding green space. The lower level provides abundant storage with built-in cabinetry and flexible space to fit your needs. A rare opportunity offering space, function, and outdoor living near shopping, Easter Lake, and downtown.
