## Description

### Agent Description
Discover the perfect blend of privacy and sophisticated living in this meticulously maintained West Des Moines ranch. Nestled on a wooded .47-acre lot in a premier tree-lined neighborhood, this home offers an expansive floor plan designed for both comfort and connection. The main level welcomes you with fresh paint throughout the living areas, highlighting warm cherry woodwork and a remodeled kitchen featuring maple flooring and premium appliances. The primary suite serves as a serene retreat with direct access to a massive deck overlooking a private, wooded backyard. Having received numerous updates in recent years, the home feels modern and move-in ready. The finished lower level adds incredible value to the living space with two additional bedrooms, a bath, and a versatile media or flex area. While the setting feels like a secluded getaway, you are just minutes from parks, schools and the vibrant dining and shopping at Jordan Creek and West Glen. This property offers a rare opportunity to own a peaceful, high-quality retreat in the heart of the city. Schedule your private tour today to experience this unique home for yourself!
