There are houses that impress you, and then there are homes that welcome you. 3794 NW 103rd Place does both, offering over an acre of privacy, over 6,600 finished square feet, and a warmth that you feel the moment you arrive. Tucked at the back of a quiet cul-de-sac, this one-owner custom home blends transitional craftsmanship, generous living space, and an unmistakable sense of comfort. With 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and inviting outdoor living, it's a property that feels expansive yet never overwhelming, the perfect balance of gathering space and retreat. From the moment you pull up, the home's curb appeal makes a statement with stone accents, rich wood tones, and an inviting front porch framed by mature landscaping. Inside, cherry hardwood floors and 10-foot ceilings create a sense of flow and scale. The front sitting room opens through a wide cased opening to the main living area anchored by built-ins and a gas fireplace. Overlooking it all is a kitchen designed for connection, complete with cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, double oven, stainless steel appliances, soft-close drawers, and both formal and informal dining areas. Also on the main level: a four-season room, a home office with built-ins, and a spacious primary suite offering private backyard access, a gas fireplace, walk-in closet, tiled shower, and jetted tub. The heated three-car garage features epoxy floors, abundant storage, and connects directly to the mudroom and locker area. Upstairs, five large bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a laundry room designed for dual washer/dryers provide both function and flexibility. The finished lower level continues to surprise with 9-foot ceilings, a large family room, built-in stage, fort, wet bar, and a seventh bedroom with full bath. Two large storage rooms with shelving add convenience. Outside, the property is designed for play and relaxation. A full concrete bike track, basketball pad, multiple patios, fire pit, hot tub, and expansive Trex deck make the backyard a destination. The fully fenced yard provides the perfect mix of space and privacy while still feeling connected to the neighborhood. Recent updates include a new roof (2022) and new siding and garage doors (2017). Additional, noteworthy updates include complete exterior painting (2020), complete interior painting (2020), new Geo Loops drilled and new interior connections (2025), all new downspouts installed (2025), and a new sewer grinder pump installed. With a Polk City address, Ankeny School District, and proximity to Saylorville Lake, this home offers a lifestyle that's peaceful yet accessible. Lovingly owned and meticulously maintained for 18 years, this property isn't just large in size, it's rich in character. It's a place where craftsmanship, comfort, and connection come together beautifully, ready for the next chapter.
