Set on a stunning 5.39-acre wooded lot in the Van Meter school district, this 1.5-story home is a peaceful retreat that blends modern comfort with the beauty of nature. Its lofted design features tall west-facing windows that flood the space with natural light and offer views of deer and wild turkey amidst the trees. A wall of windows above the kitchen sink provides an uninterrupted view of the backyard, making every moment in the kitchen a pleasure. The home boasts 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including a primary suite on the main floor with a soaking tub, tiled shower, dual vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet. Practicality is also at the forefront, with a main floor laundry room, a 220 EV charger in the garage, and a west-facing Permadeck and patio perfect for enjoying the backyard. Want to enjoy the sunrise in private? This is one of the neighborhood's only homes with a wooded front yard you can enjoy from a covered patio. A finished walkout basement provides additional space, and other updates include a tankless water heater, a 2019 furnace, and fresh exterior paint in November of '23. This home offers a wonderful balance of quiet living and the warmth of home, all within a short drive to the metro.
