201 Foster Dr, Des Moines, IA, 50312

This classic colonial home on one of Des Moines most iconic streets feels like it was taken right out of Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Steeped in history yet meticulously updated for contemporary living, this home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern convenience. The open kitchen is a cook's dream with a Wolf Dual Fuel 4-burner stove with an infrared grill and griddle, custom cabinets, Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and a large, honed quartz island. There is also a prep sink with reverse osmosis water system. Beautiful wood beams and stunning wood floors exude warmth and character, while French doors beckon to a private backyard oasis. Here, a captivating in-ground heated pool, complete with a salt water system and automatic-locking cover, awaits, offering an idyllic retreat. A custom mudroom - with a sliding wood ladder to reach upper storage and a Viking fridge - connects the kitchen to the attached 3-car garage with an electric car charger. The main floor welcomes you with a formal dining room, living room, and a versatile porch/office, while a powder room adds convenience. Step onto the screened-in porch, adorned with a custom swing, offering a serene spot for relaxation or to watch swimmers. The 2nd floor has a washer/dryer, four bedrooms, including the primary ensuite bedroom with two walk-in closets, soaking tub, and double vanity sink. The almost half-acre lot is surrounded by majestic oaks with a fire pit in the back.
