Enjoy life in this gorgeous executive ranch home with one of the best water views in Ankeny. Quality custom-build with upgraded finishes. As you enter the lovely hallway your focus is on a beautiful stone fireplace in the living room with two 6' windows on either side to show off the extraordinary views. The windows are graced with built-in seats below which open for storage (think extra blankets to cuddle in) and also for extra seating when entertaining. The living area opens to a beautiful kitchen with a huge island, quartz counters, and a pot filler over the stove. The kitchen pantry is larger than normal with plenty of shelving. On the other side of the kitchen island is an area to accommodate a large table and chairs. The upgraded 8' slider opens to a perfectly placed covered deck to enjoy the view and extends to an open deck to enjoy the sun. The first floor also offers two bedrooms plus the main bedroom with double doors leading to a luxurious bath and large closet. The drop zone by the garage door is connected to the laundry room which is situated for maximum convenience. The lower-level family room is entered through double doors and features a wall of windows facing the water and an entertainment kitchen. In addition there is, a large 4th bedroom and a full bath. A flexible space, currently a non-conforming bedroom, can be personalized as a hobby room, fabulous work-out area or reconfigured as a theatre room as desired. Unfinished storage space is also available.
