A Vaulted Living Room That Makes an Impression
Step through the front door and you're welcomed into a spacious living room that immediately shows off the character of this home.
The vaulted ceilings make the room feel open and airy, while a statement chandelier adds a beautiful finishing touch overhead. New LVP flooring gives the space an updated look and flows nicely into the surrounding main-level living areas.
The fireplace creates a natural focal point and is flanked by windows overlooking the backyard, bringing in plenty of natural light.
It's a comfortable everyday living space that still has enough style to make an impression when you're entertaining.
An Updated Kitchen + Dining Space
The kitchen has been updated with a combination of finishes that feel both current and timeless.
You'll find stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that provides additional seating and workspace.
Just off the kitchen is the informal dining area, where a large window overlooks the backyard and fills the space with natural light.
The connection between the kitchen, dining area, and living room creates an easy flow for everything from busy weekday mornings to having friends over for dinner.
A Primary Suite With Deck Access
The main-level primary suite is another standout feature of this NW Ankeny ranch.
New carpet creates a comfortable feel, while a custom board and batten accent wall gives the room added character. One of our favorite features is the private door leading directly from the bedroom to the back deck—perfect for stepping outside with your morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day.
The primary bathroom has also been beautifully updated and features new soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, a linen closet, and a large walk-in closet with built-in shelving.
It's a primary suite that feels finished, functional, and thoughtfully updated.
Two More Main-Level Bedrooms + Updated Bathroom + Laundry
One of the biggest advantages of this home's ranch layout is having three bedrooms on the main level.
In addition to the primary suite, you'll find two additional bedrooms that offer plenty of flexibility for bedrooms, guest space, or a home office.
A recently updated full bathroom serves these rooms and continues the updated look found throughout the rest of the home.
The main level is completed by a convenient laundry room that can also function as a mudroom, helping keep everyday clutter contained as you come and go.
For buyers specifically searching for an Ankeny home with main-level laundry and three bedrooms on one floor, this layout checks some important boxes.
A Finished Basement Made for Entertaining
Head downstairs and you'll quickly see just how much additional living space this ranch has to offer.
The finished basement features a large second living area, giving you an entirely separate place to watch movies, host game nights, relax, or spread out.
But the centerpiece of the lower level may be the large bar area.
Whether you envision football Saturdays, holiday parties, game nights, or casual weekends with friends, this space is already set up for entertaining.
Combined with the second living area, it creates a lower level that feels like a true extension of the home rather than simply extra finished square footage.
A Fourth Bedroom + Bonus Room + Bathroom Downstairs
The basement offers more than just entertaining space.
A fourth bedroom provides additional privacy away from the three main-level bedrooms.
There's also another finished room that could be used in a number of ways depending on what you need—think home office, playroom, hobby room, workout space, gaming room, or guest space.
An additional updated bathroom completes the lower level.
Altogether, the finished basement gives this 4-bedroom Ankeny ranch the flexibility to change along with your needs.
A Fenced Backyard Ready to Enjoy
The updates and usable space continue outside.
A large deck extends the living area outdoors, with a portion of the deck covered so you can enjoy some shade while still having plenty of open space for grilling, dining, and entertaining.
The fenced backyard provides room to play, garden, entertain, or simply relax.
There's even a firepit, creating the perfect spot for cool Iowa evenings.
Additional exterior features include:
Irrigation system
Nicely landscaped front yard
Attached 2-car garage with bump-out
Large partially covered deck
Fenced backyard
Firepit
It's an outdoor setup that's ready to enjoy without requiring you to start from scratch.
