Boasting an inviting curb appeal, this delightful two-story home from the 1940s exudes charm from the moment you arrive. Upon entering, you'll be welcomed by hardwood floors complemented by white painted trim. The well-appointed living room features a focal point of built-in bookcases. The dining room seamlessly connects to the kitchen, and there's a convenient half bathroom nearby. A newly added mudroom, complete with a bench and hooks, enhances the home's functionality and style. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Other charming touches of the home include a built-in window bench and built-in drawers just outside the full bathroom. Outside the home, the inviting deck expands the living space and a fully fenced yard is an added bonus. The oversized 2-car garage is large enough for 2 vehicles as well as storing lawn mower and tools. Behind the garage is garden space and raspberry bushes. Conveniently situated, this home provides easy access to all the attractions and amenities Ankeny has to offer.
