Some homes are built; this one was composed. Twenty-eight years of intention by its original owners, alongside celebrated Des Moines builder Donnie Acheson. Set on 1.94 wooded acres in Adel's coveted Mill Creek, this custom craftsman estate feels worlds away yet sits 15-20 minutes from West Des Moines. Cedar shake siding and Pella windows give timeless, Hamptons-style presence; inside, one-of-a-kind oak millwork, built-ins, and pocket doors reveal craftsmanship new construction can't replicate. Nearly 5,000 finished square feet center on a two-sided fireplace, a hearth room with overlooking loft, and a kitchen with leathered Labrador granite, Thermador range, and hardwood floors. The main-floor primary suite offers a soaking tub and marble shower; upstairs adds a Jack-and-Jill bath and a media room that flexes to a fifth bedroom. The walkout lower level brings a second kitchen, workout room, guest suite, and recreation space. Outside is the soul of the property: eight mature oaks, vintage peonies and lilacs, a three-tier English garden with fire pit, stone benches, and landscape lighting throughout, beautiful enough to host a wedding. Five garage stalls, updated mechanicals, rural water, advanced septic, and Earlham schools complete it. Mill Creek's HOA (~$1,000/yr) covers snow removal and roads. To recreate the trees, gardens, and craftsmanship would cost far more, and take a generation. Schedule your private tour of 33943 Mill Creek Drive.
