About this home
Enjoy the perks of low county taxes, Saydel schools, and a location close to Ankeny amenities. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers over 2,000 sq ft of finished living space—including a rare, oversized two-story garage with 500 sq ft of bonus living area above. Inside, you’ll love the soaring ceilings and exposed wood beam accents in the main living room, anchored by a cozy wood-burning, gas-start fireplace with a classic brick surround. Laminate flooring flows throughout most of the main level, and the updated kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and brand-new granite countertops. The finished lower level includes a second fireplace, bar area, and a private primary suite with an ensuite bath, large walk-in closet, and sliding glass doors that open to a patio. The finished space above the garage offers endless flexibility—perfect for a home office, rec room, or guest suite. Recent updates include a new roof, new patio and garage doors, a refinished deck, fresh exterior paint, and a newer water heater and dishwasher—both less than a year old. With flexible living space, thoughtful updates, and a location that blends small-town charm with big-city convenience, this one is truly a rare find!
