## Description

### Agent Description
1.36 acres in the heart of Ankeny, a rare opportunity to enjoy the space of acreage living without sacrificing the convenience of city amenities. Filled with natural light, the main level features a front living room, formal dining room, a convenient half bath, and a spacious kitchen with abundant storage. The adjoining eat-in dining area flows into a bright three-season room, perfect for morning coffee or entertaining, while the vaulted den with a cozy fireplace offers a warm gathering space. Step outside to the composite deck overlooking the expansive backyard. Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet, plus two additional bathrooms, second-floor laundry, and a large bonus room. The open overlook to the den below creates an airy, connected feel. The finished basement offers a generous family room, ample storage, and a fifth bedroom with an egress window and walk-in closet. The oversized four-car garage includes a convenient partial bath, making it ideal for hobbies, entertaining, or cleaning up after time outdoors. Outside, the beautifully landscaped vast lot offers mature and fruit trees, a fire pit, storage shed, children's playset, and endless room to relax, entertain, or grow. Ideally located minutes from Saylorville Lake, Prairie Trail, parks, golf, shopping, dining, and I-35, you'll enjoy quick access to boating, hiking, biking, and an easy commute to Des Moines and Ames.
