Welcome home to this well-maintained ranch in SE Ankeny, offering a functional layout, finished lower level, and a backyard built for relaxing and entertaining. As you walk inside, you'll be greeted by a spacious living room featuring large windows that fill the space with natural light and LVP flooring.

A spacious mudroom/laundry room with a convenient side entrance adds extra functionality to the main level. Three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom with dual sinks and tile flooring complete the main floor. The finished lower level nearly doubles your living space with a large family room, wet bar, full bathroom, and a nonconforming 4th bedroom that makes a great guest room, office, or workout space, plus plenty of storage.
