Tucked away in SE Ankeny, this two-story home offers the kind of backyard you don’t come across often, fully fenced and backing to a peaceful pond and mature trees for that extra layer of privacy and beautiful views. At this price point, a setting like this is hard to find. A newer composite deck makes it easy to enjoy it all, whether it’s quiet mornings outside or evenings around a fire. Inside, you’ll find a functional layout with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The finished basement adds extra living space, perfect for a second living area, home gym, or flex space depending on your needs. Location is just as strong, you’re close to the highway for an easy commute, yet also just minutes from the High Trestle Trail for biking, walking, or catching one of Iowa’s best sunset views. A great mix of convenience, lifestyle, and a backyard that truly stands out.
