With 6BR, 5.5 baths, and 5 garage stalls, the home was designed for both everyday living and unforgettable entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the main living areas with natural light, while the kitchen with double islands, Thermador appliances, and walk-in pantry creates the perfect gathering space. A nearby drop zone and massive mudroom connect seamlessly to the garage for everyday convenience. The main level suite is a private retreat with a sitting area, heated floors, soaking tub, oversized tile shower, custom closet, and dedicated laundry. Upstairs offers spacious bedrooms, ensuite baths, plus a second laundry. A hidden slide connecting the upper level to the lower-level playroom adds a memorable element that makes this home as fun as it is functional. The walkout lower level features a large bar, game area, family room, additional bedrooms, and built-in bunk space. Outside, enjoy a fully equipped outdoor kitchen + bar with heaters, fireplace, and grilling station, plus a stone fire pit surrounded by mature trees, creating a private setting. Generator = peace of mind. A truly rare opportunity combining estate-scale living, wooded privacy, and move-in-ready luxury in one of WDM most desirable locations. ## Location - **Address:** 1738 S 40th Court, West des Moines, IA 50265 - **County:** Polk - **Coordinates:** 41.5436, -93.75741 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.5436,-93.75741 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Megan Hill Mitchum - **Brokerage:** Century 21 Signature Real Estate - **Broker Phone:** (515) 224-4002 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1738-S-40th-Ct_West-Des-Moines_IA_50265_M85398-47793?f=listhub&s=DMAARIA&m=735467&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1895630587r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f917403760r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1019927901r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3187143826r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3035711126r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f580324940r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f2243633214r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f450878864r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1805499546r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f869160056r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1645824243r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f533946573r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f462578858r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f159021801r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3796752368r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3534522156r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f2352815897r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3643370010r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1344453711r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3198737625r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1222669243r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3656218199r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f391773973r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3659966660r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f268449213r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f2760416730r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1013015668r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1048679885r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1459351985r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f2709995529r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f508558753r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f1736993486r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 33](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3651942675r.jpg) ![1738 S 40th Court - Photo 34](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bfde730b62bd2351cfe2d26039380239l-f3793949681r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 735467 | **Updated:** 2026-10-27 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Des Moines Area Association of REALTORS®, Inc.
