Palladian windows flood the vaulted main level with natural light the moment you step inside this 4-level split in the Easter Lake area of Des Moines. Bamboo hardwood floors and soaring ceilings set the tone from entry, and the kitchen opens to the living room above a partial wall — keeping both spaces light and connected. Generous cabinetry, abundant counter space, and an eat-in dining area make this kitchen larger than pictures can convey. Sliding doors open onto a large deck with stairs to the fenced backyard, and a wooded view you can enjoy all the way from the front door. Down a few steps, the fully above-grade family room offers three large windows and a gas fireplace, plus a half bath, laundry, and access to the 3-stall painted garage and basement. The basement surprises with 10-foot ceilings. The finished area has an egress window with custom well cover and ladder — bedroom-ready. The unfinished utility space also has egress, offering room to expand. The whole level stays cool year-round. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two full baths include a primary suite with jetted tub, walk-in closet, and full ensuite. Updates: roof (2020), AC (2020), furnace (2019), radon mitigation, whole home surge protector, gutter guards. The lake is visible from the front sidewalk and home is only about a block from paved access to the Mark C. Ackelson Trail — a 4-mile paved loop through Easter Lake Park with swimming beach, kayak rentals, fishing, covered bridge, and playgrounds.
