Some homes have been updated. This one has been reimagined. The 1.5 story entry opens to a living room anchored by a painted brick fireplace and a custom chevron feature wall. Just beyond, the kitchen has been taken down to the studs and rebuilt: white shaker cabinetry, brushed gold hardware, subway tile, stainless appliances, glass-front uppers, recessed lighting and a peninsula made for barstools. Dining flows right off it under a statement chandelier, with sliders to the deck. Upstairs, three bedrooms sit under vaulted ceilings. The primary has a walk-in closet and private bath; a second is framed by a dramatic arched window. A full hall bath and an open landing overlooking the entry complete the level. Then there's the lower level, and it's the part people talk about. A finished rec room with a live-edge and corrugated metal wet bar, space for the TV, the dartboard and the gym equipment — and a cedar-lined wine cellar with slate floors, a stone accent wall and racking for the whole collection. Outside is its own destination. A rebuilt multi-level deck under a pergola, a built-in bar strung with lights, a hot tub, and a fully fenced yard with mature trees, a storage shed and real room to spread out. Two-car attached garage, brick-accented elevation, wood-look flooring throughout. West Des Moines schools, minutes from Jordan Creek, Valley West and I-35/80. Move-in ready in the way people actually mean it.
