One of the larger properties in Clive’s desirable Walnut Creek Hills neighborhood is listed for sale at $929,900, and provides the contrast of a quiet cul-de-sac setting and easy access to West Des Moines’ vibrant dining and retail districts.
Accessible from Meredith Drive to the north, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom, 1½ story home sits on a third of an acre lot at 4330 N.W. 169th Court in Clive. At the rear of the property, two outdoor patios provide relaxing views of Little Walnut Creek and occasional sightings of owls, hawks, eagles and deer.
Built in 2017, Realtor Kane McCuen noted the property would be “impossible to replicate” at the listed price, and described the home’s design accents, layout and numerous technical upgrades as “unique” to the area.
“There's privacy, the wildlife, the views. There isn't any noise from Alice's Road. It's beautiful,” McCuen said.Entry from the attached three-car garage connects to a mudroom fitted with maple wood shelving and plenty of storage. The light wood and honey color accents are repeated throughout the home’s interior.
Guests entering through the front door pass by a home office and walk into the light-filled main living space with 19-foot ceilings. The window blinds are remotely controlled, and a phone app adjusts the multi-media audio system that can be heard in the main bedroom and bathroom, outdoor deck and basement area. Wi-Fi apps also control the home’s exterior lighting and open the garage door.
The roomy kitchen includes double ovens and two center islands, all lit by pendant, recessed and under cabinet lighting. Motion-sensors in the walk in-pantry turn its lighting on and off.
Also on the main level, the primary bedroom’s en suite bathroom features a deep bathtub, and a tiled shower installed with eight shower heads.
Upstairs, there are three additional bedrooms, with the biggest attached to its own walk-in closet and en suite bathroom, while the other two rooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom.
The property already covers a considerable 3,893 square feet but adds a bonus 2,180 square feet of furnished space on the lower level.
Downstairs contains another bedroom, with an adjoining bathroom upgraded with a steam shower. The open-plan layout is bisected by a pillar housing a double-sided fireplace and includes areas for a home gym and pool table.
Surround-sound speakers are mounted in the dedicated media room.
The highlight of the basement is a stylish home bar, ready to serve six guests seated on stools, and already outfitted with a sink, fridge and dishwasher to complete the home-style cocktail lounge experience.
Outdoors, there are opportunities to entertain friends and family around a firepit, or on one of the two patio spaces, both accessible by an outdoor spiral staircase.
Positioned close to parks, walking trails and bike paths, the property is less than a 10-minute drive to Hickman Road in the south, and is ideal for young attendees of the well-respected Waukee Community School District.
McCuen has considered the house would attract empty nesters who might welcome the extra room for entertaining, and visiting family members, or professionals with a growing family that would appreciate the home’s generous footprint.
“I've heard people say, ‘It's too big.’ It is a very large home. But I think you're getting a lot for the price compared to what's out there,” he added.
The home is listed at $929,900 by Kane McCuen of RE/MAX Precision. Contact McCuen at 515-783-7439 for more information and a private showing.
