    What's special

    Adjoining dining areaFinished lower levelPrivate viewVersatile front flex roomMature treesExpansive yardMassive park-like backyard
    Spacious ranch w/ over 3,400sqft of finish, 4br, & 3 full baths, all set on a quiet cul-de-sac right off Ute Ave. This property delivers things hard to find at this price point: a MASSIVE, park-like backyard w/ mature trees, privacy, & room to truly spread out; all while offering quick access to Waukee & I-80. Inside, the main level features a sunken living room w/ built-ins & a wood-burning brick fireplace, plus a versatile front flex room for office, playroom, or formal dining. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, gas range, dishwasher, a built-in desk, & an adjoining dining area. The primary suite overlooks the tree line for a peaceful, private view. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, & a spacious mudroom/laundry w/ sink & storage complete the main floor. The finished lower level adds a family room, bedroom, full bath, & two bonus rooms for office, fitness, or hobby space, as well as additional storage. Outside is where this home shines! The expansive yard feels like your own private park; perfect for kids, pets, gardening, or quiet evenings with family. Adding to the appeal is not just one, but two garages: an oversized attached 2-car plus a detached heated 2-car garage w/ electricity. Finding an accessory garage in Waukee is rare; having one with heat & power makes it ideal for hobbies, projects, or extra storage. Homes in this neighborhood are consistently well cared for & often priced higher, making this a rare opportunity to step into a great area at a value.
