About this home

Rare opportunity to own this distinctive, custom-designed, award-winning home by Bloodgood Architects and built by Dean Paulsen & Sons, a respected multi-generation builder in Greater Des Moines. This architectural gem was honored as Architectural Digest House of the Year and featured in Better Homes & Gardens. Situated on two parcels totaling 1.67 acres, this remarkable in-town acreage has been lovingly maintained by a one-owner family since 1967. Intentionally oriented to the southeast to complement the natural surroundings, the home blends seamlessly with its serene setting. A private lane leads to sprawling, park-like grounds beneath a canopy of mature oaks, offering stunning views of Waveland Golf Course and meadow, with abundant wildlife. Designed for entertaining, this meticulously cared-for retreat offers exceptional privacy while remaining conveniently close to downtown and interstate access. The home features five levels, six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a heated two-car
