Privacy, space, and an unbeatable location come together in this exceptional 5-bedroom walk-out two-story, tucked just west of Prairie Trail on 2.12 beautifully wooded acres. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac and backing to woods and a creek, this property offers a rare sense of privacy while remaining just minutes from Ankeny's District at Prairie Trail for shopping, dining, entertainment, and amenities. You’ll say “WOW” the moment you step inside. The grand foyer opens to a spacious living room highlighted by a gas fireplace and a wall of west-facing windows that frame peaceful views of the wooded backyard. Approximately 1.1 acres of the property is designated forest preserve, creating a truly unique natural setting right outside your door and guaranteeing your privacy for years to come. The impressive kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a large center island with dishwasher and microwave, refrigerator, gas range, and an oversized walk-in pantry. The kitchen flows seamlessly to the one-year-old screened-in composite deck, providing the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, evening gatherings, or the tranquility of the surrounding woods. The main level also offers a private office/flex room, half bath, and convenient mudroom just inside the 792-square-foot heated garage. The garage is finished with painted walls and an epoxy floor, making it as functional as it is impressive. Upstairs, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed bedroom layout. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while another generously sized bedroom features its own private attached bath. The spacious primary suite offers a beautifully appointed private bath with a tiled shower and large walk-in closet, plus the convenience of a dedicated laundry room just steps away. The finished walk-out lower level is built for relaxation and entertaining. Highlights include a steam shower in the heated-tile bathroom, top-quality carpet and pad in the family room, a wood-burning fireplace with a gas line, and a wet bar with heated tile flooring. An additional bedroom/office provides flexibility for guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs. Step outside from the walk-out level and discover even more possibilities. A concrete fire-pit area is already in place with a gas line, and a dedicated area with hookups is ready for your future hot tub. With approximately 3,600 square feet of finished living space, five bedrooms, multiple entertaining spaces, a private wooded setting, a heated 792-square-foot garage, and an incredible location just minutes from Ankeny’s Prairie Trail District, this property offers a combination that is truly hard to find. "Private. Peaceful. Spacious. Convenient. And ready to impress. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this exceptional property your new home."
