You want to set 4cm as the leftmargin for description (with a correction for the labelsep).
documentclassarticle
usepackageenumitem
usepackageshowframe % just to show the margins of the text block
begindocument
begindescription[leftmargin=4cm,labelwidth=dimexpr4cm-labelsep]
item[Description]
 beginenumerate[leftmargin=*]
 item Item
 item Another item
 item Last item
 endenumerate
enddescription
enddocument

If you want to have the minimal distance between the description items and the enumerate items, you can obtain it eaasily with calc and enumitem:
documentclassarticle
usepackage[showframe]geometry
usepackagecalc
usepackageenumitem
begindocument
 begindescription[leftmargin=widthoftextbfDescription + labelsep , style = unboxed]item[Description]
 beginenumerate[wide=0pt, leftmargin =*]
 item Item
 item Another item. Some more text. Some more text. Some more text. Some more text. Some more text. Some more text
 item Last item
 endenumerate
 enddescription
enddocument
