Lakefront Property! This is a rare opportunity to live on a lake just 15 minutes to downtown Des Moines. You will love having direct access to Lake Colchester (a 170 acre stocked lake) from your back yard with your own private dock with Shorelander boat lift. This 1 acre waterfront oasis has a lakeside deck and fire pit, 12x30 composite deck, a wood fired brick pizza oven, raised garden beds, established asparagus patch, strawberry patch, grapevines, apple tree, a black chain link fenced area for children and dogs, partially covered patio, and a 9 ft round galvanized grain bin for storage. The home was totally remodeled in 2014 with new everything, including windows, furnace with heat pump, AC, and roof. The kitchen has quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, farmhouse sink, soft close cabinets and drawers, and a great backsplash. There is a formal dining room with floor to ceiling windows and room for a large dining table. You will also love spending time in the 4 season porch with amazing views of the lake. The primary bedroom has its own bathroom with clawfoot tub and nice walk-in closet. The garage is 912 sq ft with a backroom that has double doors to the outside with baseboard heat and a portable AC. The basement is finished with a family room and non-conforming 3rd bedroom stubbed for a bath. Ask your real estate agent for a full list of amenities! Imagine yourself waking up with that vacation feeling everyday and call to make this Home Sweet Home!
