            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:



            documentclass{article}
            usepackage[showframe]{geometry}
            usepackage{calc}
            usepackage{enumitem}

            begin{document}

            begin{description}[leftmargin=widthof{textbf{Description}} + labelsep , style = unboxed]item[Description]
            begin{enumerate}[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
            end{enumerate}
