n the heart of Urbandale, a sprawling eight-bedroom estate has emerged as a haven for families seeking ample space to grow. This 4,085 square-foot masterpiece, nestled on a corner lot at the intersection of 162nd Street and Maple Drive, boasts an additional 2,235 square feet of finished basement space, providing each family member with their own private sanctuary.
Behind its understated façade lies a world of luxury and functionality. The home's custom woodwork, courtesy of Denton Homes, is evident in the beams adorning the ceilings and the detailing surrounding the fireplace. A cleverly designed kitchen features two islands, a walk-in pantry hidden behind tall doors, and an open-plan main living space that flows seamlessly into a sunroom-style hearth room.
The primary bedroom boasts a spacious walk-in closet and bathroom with double vanities and a standalone shower, while an additional bedroom is conveniently located on the main level. Two more bedrooms reside upstairs, accessible via two separate staircases. The top floor also houses a small den ripe for creative possibilities.
Downstairs, the walk-out basement offers a "very large wet bar" and four more bedrooms, including one that has been repurposed as a home office. The potential for expansion is vast, with a heated, unfinished space beneath the four-car garage waiting to be transformed into a home gym or storage area.
Located on Urbandale's western perimeter, this Dallas County property is part of the esteemed Waukee School District, with Shuler Elementary within walking distance and Northwest High School just a 10-minute drive away. The backyard, suitable for installing a pool or sports court, provides access to a mature woodland teeming with wildlife.
HOA dues are a mere $520 per year, and the Summit Estates district offers walking trails connecting to surrounding developments. Realtor Amy Dempsey has affectionately dubbed this neighborhood "CliveWaukAndale," characterized by executive-style homes with quiet streets, private backyards, and ample space for working from home.
Dempsey notes that homes in this cul-de-sac are significantly higher in value than those in the surrounding area, making it a prestigious pocket within the community. This exceptional estate is listed at $1,525,000 by Amy Dempsey of Iowa Realty Mills Crossing.
