Buyers agents welcome! We are still finishing up a few things and will update pictures as the floors are finished, carpet is changed, painting re-done. However, the house is available and we are willing to show it! Beautiful maintenance free home with an unbelivable view of the Racoon River Valley. This home won the 2005 best residential home award presented by Wick Building. Every space is large and open. The second floor ceilings are vaulted or 10 foot minimum with pull down stairs into an extremely spacious attic for storage. It has the floor plan of a British row house, charm of a cabin and features of a new home including, pine trim, claw foot tub, hardwood floors in main area of the house, vaulted ceilings, heated tile floors in kitchen and heated garage. The garage comfortably fits two cars while still having room for a small work area. There is an office that is currently used as a bedroom and the master bedroom (currently used for kids) could easily be converted into two very nice-sized rooms while still leaving a very nice size room for a master. Both bedrooms have nice sized walk-in closets. The half bath in the laundry/mudroom also has plenty of room for an added shower. There is a 16x24 shed with 200 amp electrical service and a wood burning stove, loft and two attached dog kennels. Although the home is not built on a basement the shed allows for plenty of rec-room, workshop, storage, man-cave, expansion space. There is also an 8x7 chicken coop. It is a little over five acres and the land below is a flood plain so it can never be developed. The land behind it is a preserve and can also never be developed. There is also land across the river that is preserve. The sunsets are stunning and turkey, deer, fox, coyotes and other wildlife are regular visitors. It ¼ mile off of pavement and is on a county maintained road. There is little to no traffic and you see very few neighbors from the house. It is in the wonderful Adel school system and 40 minutes from downtown Des Moines. It would have excellent potential for a vineyard or solar/wind/off-grid with the south-facing slope.
