Description

Rare opportunity to own this distinctive, custom-designed, award-winning home by Bloodgood Architects and built by Dean Paulsen & Sons, a respected multi-generation builder in Greater Des Moines. This architectural gem was honored as Architectural Digest House of the Year and featured in Better Homes & Gardens. Situated on two parcels totaling 1.67 acres, this remarkable in-town acreage has been lovingly maintained by a one-owner family since 1967. Intentionally oriented to the southeast to complement the natural surroundings, the home blends seamlessly with its serene setting. A private lane leads to sprawling, park-like grounds beneath a canopy of mature oaks, offering stunning views of Waveland Golf Course and meadow, with abundant wildlife. Designed for entertaining, this meticulously cared-for retreat offers exceptional privacy while remaining conveniently close to downtown and interstate access. The home features five levels, six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a heated two-car garage. Recent updates include a new roof and deck (2025) and two HVAC systems with humidifier (Dec 2021). Interior highlights include cathedral and soaring ceilings with oversized windows, complete with transoms, open layout, expansive family room, dramatic loft retreat, two fireplaces, double pocket doors, four skylights, security system, impressive storage and workshop located in lowest level, custom landscaping, a 25x40 deck, generous parking, and a 10x16 garden shed.
