Tucked into the desirable Boulder Brook neighborhood of Ankeny, this home offers a setting that's hard to find- backing to a pond with peaceful views and a sense of privacy right from your own backyard. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning on the deck or hosting friends, the outdoor space is designed to be used and enjoyed. Inside, the main level features a comfortable, open layout with a vaulted family room, fireplace, and easy flow into the eat-in kitchen. A formal dining room (or could be an office) add flexibility for everyday living or entertaining. The main-floor primary suite and laundry offer added convenience. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and an updated full bath. The finished walkout lower level creates even more room to spread out with a large family room, wet bar, additional bedroom, bath, and storage. Additional highlights include an oversized 3-car garage with extra-deep third stall and built-in storage.
