About this home
Located in the highly sought-after Scotch Ridge area just west of Carlisle, this exceptional 3.12-acre acreage offers a rare blend of privacy, convenience, and quality construction. Set in a park-like setting with mature shade trees, countryside views, and a peaceful 1/2-acre pond, the property delivers the lifestyle many buyers seek but few ever find - just 10.5 miles from downtown Des Moines with easy access to Highway 65/69 and the Highway 5 Bypass.
At the heart of the acreage sits a very solid brick ranch home designed for both comfort and flexibility. The main level offers 2,094 square feet of finished living space, complemented by a 1,374-square-foot basement with two separate stairway access points, including one from the attached garage. With up to three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two separate living areas, and two full kitchens (one on each level), the home is exceptionally well suited for extended and growing families. Three fireplaces, two gas and one electric, add warmth and character throughout.
Features thoughtful upgrades including custom oak cabinetry, oversized tiled showers, Corian countertops, dual laundry, and a 570-square-foot wrap-around deck connected to the addition. Major improvements include an architectural shingle roof, soffit, fascia, gutters with LeafGuard (2017), and a newer mini-split system in the addition (2024). A 460-square-foot attached two-car garage with hot and cold water, 220 electric service, and four exterior water spigots
