Agent Description

Set on a rare 1.36 ac wooded cul-de-sac lot in West Des Moines, this exceptional Quail Park Woods estate offers nearly 8,500 SF of finished living space with the scale, privacy, and functionality many buyers hope to build - but without the time or uncertainty of new construction.

With 6BR, 5.5 baths, and 5 garage stalls, the home was designed for both everyday living and unforgettable entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the main living areas with natural light, while the kitchen with double islands, Thermador appliances, and walk-in pantry creates the perfect gathering space.

A nearby drop zone and massive mudroom connect seamlessly to the garage for everyday convenience. The main level suite is a private retreat with a sitting area, heated floors, soaking tub, oversized tile shower, custom closet, and dedicated laundry. Upstairs offers spacious bedrooms, ensuite baths, plus a second laundry.

A hidden slide connecting the upper level to the lower-level playroom adds a memorable element that makes this home as fun as it is functional. The walkout lower level features a large bar, game area, family room, additional bedrooms, and built-in bunk space.

Outside, enjoy a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and bar with heaters, fireplace, and grilling station, plus a stone fire pit surrounded by mature trees - creating a private setting. A truly rare opportunity combining estate-scale living, wooded privacy, and move-in-ready luxury in one of WDM most desirable locations.
