Set on a rare 1.36 ac wooded cul-de-sac lot in West Des Moines, this Quail Park Woods estate offers nearly 8,500 SF of finished living space with the scale, privacy, and functionality 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 + bar with heaters, fireplace, and grilling station, plus a stone fire pit surrounded by mature trees, creating a private setting. Generator = peace of mind. A truly rare opportunity combining estate-scale living, wooded privacy, and move-in-ready luxury in one of WDM most desirable locations.
