Welcome home to this updated 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom ranch in Ankeny! Built in 1954, this home blends character with thoughtful updates in a well-established neighborhood lined with mature trees. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living area, offering 1,168 square feet on the main level plus an additional 858 square feet of finished basement, complete with a second family room, a fourth bedroom, a workout/flex space and a non-conforming bathroom. The real showstopper is out back: a spacious, fully fenced yard with plenty of flat, open space and an oversized patio made for entertaining, relaxing, or letting the kids and pets run free. Whether you're hosting summer cookouts or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this backyard delivers. Complete with a 1-car attached garage and conveniently located near shopping, dining, and parks, this Ankeny gem is ready for its next owner!
