$1.7 million home in Waukee features 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and a pool

Originality is what you find as soon as you step inside this custom executive five-bedroom home in the Painted Woods 2 neighborhood of Waukee. Located on nearly two acres, you’ll find fun modern details both inside and out the 3,000-plus-square-foot house.

As soon as you step in the front door, you will be greeted by plenty of light, exquisite modern details and a view of the property. Custom bocce ball lighting rains over the circular opening to the lower level as floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light and glimpses of the pool, trees and pond.

The open-concept main floor includes a newly remodeled kitchen with plenty of seating at a wraparound bar and an adjacent dining area with doors to the covered deck. High-end appliances and plenty of stylish storage make the kitchen both functional and beautiful. A separate formal dining room offers a view of the front of the property and additional entertaining space.

Ample windows bring in beautiful light in the living room, which also has direct access to the deck. A mudroom and large laundry room offer convenience, and the master suite on the main floor is a true oasis, complete with plenty of light, private deck, a huge bathroom with tiled shower and soaking tub and an enormous walk-in closet with gorgeous built-ins for stylish organization, including an island with drawers and shoe cubbies.

The lower level includes two sets of stairs for easy access and an open two-story family room with plenty of space. A bar with built-in lights serves as a focal point and stands ready to entertain in the gaming room. The bar is part of a second kitchen, with see-through refrigerator and built-in oven.

Step outside to the fenced-in backyard and you’ll be wowed at the huge in-ground swimming pool with fun slide and plenty of covered and open patio spaces. The huge four-car garage includes extra parking and a sports court.
