This home just feels right the moment you walk in. Fresh paint, durable floors, and tall 9-foot ceilings make the main level feel bright, clean, and open. The kitchen is ready for everyday life or weekend hosting with granite countertops, a center island, pantry, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. Slide open the door and step outside to your deck, overlooking the fenced in yard, complete with a pergola that gives just the right amount of shade while still letting the sun warm your face. Upstairs, you’ll find three large bedrooms and a full bathroom, plus a generous primary suite with a tiled shower, walk-in closet, and laundry room just steps away, because convenience matters. The newly finished basement is a great spot to chill and enjoy a movie or fun with friends. The 3-stall garage, there’s plenty of room for bikes, tools, and everything in between. Bonus features like the brand new water softener (say goodbye to hard water stains and hello to softer skin and clothes). Location seals the deal, just minutes from Costco and I-35. Downtown Des Moines is only 10-15 minutes away, and Ames is an easy 15-20 minute drive. You're also just a few blocks from Deer Creek Park, one of the neighborhood's favorite hangouts, complete with a zipline, open field, walking trail, and shelter. This home sits in the Ankeny Centennial School District and NE Elementary. All information obtained from sellers and public records.All information obtained from seller and public records.
