Here's your opportunity to own one of West Des Moines' most unique homes. This dome home was built in 1980 with direct involvement and promotion by Better Homes and Gardens. It was one of the most energy efficient designs of the times. While considerable repairs are needed, it's still very energy efficient and one-of-a-kind. The domed structure is on a corner lot with mature trees, and in a great neighborhood. Inside the dome you'll discover 4-bedrooms, 2-full bathrooms and 2-half baths. There's a tiled entry foyer that flows into a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace. There's a sliding door to a large, rounded (of course) treated wood deck that overlooks a good sized yard enclosed with a privacy fence. There's a dine-in kitchen with a breakfast bar and an adjacent dining area with plenty of room to seat the whole family. You'll also find the master bedroom on this level. It includes an en-suite bathroom with a jetted tub and a walk-in shower. There's also a large walk-in closet. You'll appreciate the convenient half bath on this level. The upper level features 3 nice-sized bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level is partially finished. There's a large family room and laundry, as well as plenty of room for storage. A separate attached dome houses the 2-car garage. This home needs work, yet is a great opportunity. Once repaired, it should be worth well over $250,000. The structure of the home appears to be in great shape, just the exterior is failing. Repairs needed are estimated by the owner to be about $60,000 or so, and consist of the need of a new roof, which is a metal/tile covering, and some wood siding and window trim repair. Whether as an investment or as your next home...this is a great opportunity to own something unique and special. Call today!
