Description

Set along a quiet street connected to the paths of Willow Springs Park, this beautifully maintained West Des Moines home delivers the best of comfort, convenience, and community. Willow Springs Park is at the end of the street and Westridge Elementary is 2 blocks away.
The home offers 6 bedrooms (5 conforming), 4 bathrooms, highlighted with a main-level bedroom or office. The lower level adds versatility with a spacious family room, office, full bath, and bedroom plus a walkout to the patio, making it perfect for guests, hobbies, or multi-generational living.
Thoughtful updates bring lasting value and efficiency: new roof (2020), new water heater (2021), new fence (2022), new gutters and downspouts (2024), full deck rebuild (2024), and new dishwasher (2024). The solar panel system installed in 2023 delivers an impressive 95% energy offset with a 25-year warranty, keeping utility costs low and sustainability front and center.
Inside, the refreshed kitchen features a freestanding island that stays with the home, along with updated light fixtures, new door hardware, and fresh paint throughout. Both gas fireplaces were serviced and cleaned last year, and a radon mitigation system (2021) provides added peace of mind.
From morning walks on the nearby trails to evenings unwinding on the new deck, this home combines smart updates, inviting spaces, and a location that truly enhances daily life in one of West Des Moines most desirable neighborhoods.
