1955 NW 144th Street, Clive, IA 50325

Some homes photograph well-this one lives even better. Tucked onto a private, fully fenced corner lot of nearly half an acre in Clive's sought-after Country Club West, this beautifully remodeled two-story feels and functions like brand-new construction-but with the mature trees, established landscaping, and quiet, tree-lined street that only a settled neighborhood can offer.

Step inside and the light does the talking. Wide-plank LVP flooring runs across a bright, airy main level where a newly remodeled kitchen steals the show: quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a commercial-grade gas range that turns weeknight dinners into something special.

The sink sits below a window framing the backyard, a peach tree, and a scattering of fruit trees. Formal and informal dining rooms, a walk-in pantry with wood shelving, a convenient main-level half bath, and a mudroom drop zone off the garage give busy households room to spread out and stay organized.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a genuine retreat with built-ins, a walk-in closet with custom shelving, and a large, well-appointed laundry room complete with cabinetry and counter space-no more hauling baskets up and down stairs. The additional upstairs bedrooms offer good-sized closets, and fresh carpet makes the whole level feel new.

Down below, the fully finished daylight basement floods with natural light and adds real, functional living space-including a true 4th bedroom that checks every box: an egress window, fully enclosed walls, a closet, and its own adjacent 3/4 bath (a non-conforming bedroom per county records, but it lives and functions completely as one-ideal as a guest suite, teen retreat, or in-law space).

The rest of the level flexes easily into a rec room, media lounge, or home gym, with a storage room and work bench tucked away for projects. The care shows in the details: a newly built-in fireplace, new staircase railing, refreshed main-floor doors and upstairs trim, a new front door, and updated electrical and plumbing fixtures throughout.

Behind the beauty, the big-ticket items are done-cement board siding in excellent condition, a new roof and gutters, a new water heater, a new garage door and opener, an active radon mitigation system, and a reverse-osmosis water system in the kitchen.

The HVAC has been well maintained and regularly serviced. It is, quite simply, move-in ready. Outside, the fully fenced yard is private and scenic: a large back deck for summer grilling, a front porch made for rocking chairs, two exterior storage sheds in great condition, well-maintained landscaping, and an extra-deep 2-car attached garage plus a third parking stall on the driveway.

And then there's the address itself. Country Club West is one of the Des Moines metro's most desirable neighborhoods-600+ homes woven together by parks, green space, and its own stretch of the Clive Greenbelt Trail-all feeding the acclaimed Waukee schools. A turn-key home in an established neighborhood that rarely comes for sale!
