Let's be honest: you're here for the land. Situated just outside of Ankeny city limits near Saylorville, this property features just over 2.5 acres of private woods and rolling hills with a clearing for a firepit in the back and a fully fenced front yard for a secure outdoor space for children and pets. Explore the woods on the private trail, identify the plants in the lush perennial gardens, or find the fruit trees (plum and apple) and plan all of your homesteading and gardening dreams.
When you're finally done outside, step into the well loved and cared for home that is ready for you.
Features include a fully updated kitchen with all new appliances, tile backsplash, soft close cabinetry, and slide out pantry shelves (2020). A large living room with a fully functional gas fireplace and huge windows to invite the outside in. Your choice of dining space with an eat-in kitchen or using the sitting room that opens to a massive 16'x28' deck. Original hardwood floors and fresh paint flow throughout the main floor including all 3 bedrooms and the recently refreshed bathroom.
The finished, walk-out basement has most recently been a music studio but has also been used as a studio apartment (featuring additional bed and bath). Bring your dreams for what you want it to be.
