About This Home
As of August 20254 Bedroom Walkout Ranch in the Heart of Ankeny!
Welcome to this generously sized 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom ranch offering over 1,600 square feet on the main level plus a fully finished walkout basement for even more room to spread out. Located right across the street from East Elementary, this central Ankeny location makes everyday living easy and accessible.
You'll love the convenience of main-level living, an attached, heated garage, and extra parking space for guests or additional vehicles. Inside, the home features an open-concept living area that flows out to the back deck, a kitchen with newer appliances, and a true dining space for gatherings. There’s no shortage of flexible living space and storage, making it easy to feel right at home.
Step outside to a fenced-in yard, perfect for pets or play, plus a spacious back deck overlooking open green space—no neighbors directly behind you! The main level includes three bedrooms, while the lower level offers a private fourth bedroom and full bathroom—ideal for guests or a separate living area. The current owner has taken incredible care of the home and made maor improvements, keeping you worry free.
