This one invites you to slow down, settle in, and imagine the life you'll build here. Tucked away in the sought-after Carlson Ridge Estates neighborhood, this meticulously maintained two-story offers over 3,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with quick access to Prairie Trail, Saylorville Lake, and all that Des Moines has to offer. Soaring ceilings, timeless maple hardwood floors, and thoughtful updates create an inviting first impression, while a layout designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining makes everyone feel at home. Gather around the granite kitchen, then let conversations spill onto the nearly 500-square-foot composite deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard, complete with mature trees and room to play. Five spacious bedrooms offer everyone a place to retreat, while the finished lower level with a second fireplace, wet bar, family room, and fifth bedroom brings everyone back together. Every detail, from the beautifully designed laundry and mudroom to the oversized three-car garage, reflects the exceptional care this home has received. This isn't just a house. It's the kind of home where neighbors become lifelong friends, traditions begin, and the memories you'll treasure for years are waiting to be made.
