Own a piece of history in the heart of Ankeny. This exquisite home, characterized by its 1940s two-story design, exudes all the charm and elegance one would expect. Featuring beautiful hardwood floors, intricately crafted built-ins, classic trim work, and an abundance of natural light, this home has been meticulously updated to enhance its allure (electrical, roof, fence, mechanicals, and more). The updates seamlessly blend with the original style, creating a harmonious ambiance.
Upon entering, you will be greeted by a spacious family room, brimming with windows and built-ins, that seamlessly transitions into a versatile office area. The breezeway leads to a full bathroom, laundry room, and a substantial kitchen. Equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, an island, and a formal dining area, this kitchen is the heart of the home. A larger pantry/storage area provides ample space for culinary needs.
Ascend the stairs to discover two guest bedrooms, a full bathroom, and the primary suite. This suite boasts a fully functional walk-in closet, complemented by built-ins, a rare feature in homes of this era.
The lower level offers an additional recreation space and a partial bath, ideal for entertaining friends or relaxing with the family.
Outdoors, you will find a spacious composite deck area complemented by a newly landscaped yard, complete with a fully fenced perimeter, a shed, access to the garage, and a cozy fire pit.
