About this home
Single Family · Built 1947
A singular French County Estate with a truly vast, commanding view of the Puget Sound as a dynamic, dramatic backdrop for a life indistinguishable from the feel of an exotic vacation. One of the widest (152 feet wide), largest (1.32 acre) waterfront lots in Des Moines, this 2005 construction (effect. yr. built) perfectly transports you to elevated living in your outdoor kitchen w/patio, private view hot tub, view side fire pit and trail to your private beach. At the beach, enjoy boating (mooring possibilities, buyer to verify), fishing and picnicking or walk south to Saltwater State Park, a 79 acre waterfront masterpiece. Home was totally remodeled in 2005; indoor features include a full chef's kitchen, media room, 4 car garage, arched doorways and custom stained glass windows (full upgrade list attached for agents). Perfectly located, this home is an unnoticeable, seamless drive to the airport.
