Some homes quietly offer more than meets the eye. This all-brick ranch offers a combination of living, work and hobby space. It's a rare amenity in a well-established Ankeny neighborhood. One of its most distinctive features is the nearly 1,000 SF detached garage with a 10-FT overhead door and adjoining workshop, offering exceptional space for woodworking, hobbies, projects, storage or simply enjoying the freedom of having room to create. Combined with dedicated office space inside the home, it's an especially unique setup for someone who works from home or wants room for both work and hobbies. Inside, the main level features a thoughtfully designed kitchen offering abundant cabinetry, inviting front room with large bay window, two bedrooms including a flexible bedroom that could also serve as a dedicated home office, a spacious primary bedroom with an oversized walk-in closet, a beautifully renovated full bathroom, convenient first-floor laundry and a relaxing four-season room with a vaulted wood ceiling, exposed beams, and gas fireplace. The finished lower level continues the home's versatility with a large family room, a third bedroom with an egress window, a fourth non-conforming bedroom, a second full bath and generous storage. Outside, the fully fenced backyard features a pergola-covered stamped concrete patio and provides privacy with plenty of space to relax or entertain. Conveniently located near parks, trails, schools, shopping and everything Ankeny has to offer.
