Property Description

Updated with care and an eye toward the home’s original character, this established Ankeny bungalow offers improvements that feel natural to the era rather than overly forced or trendy. Beautifully restored hardwood floors throughout much of the main level. The kitchen was remodeled in 2021 with finishes that feel intentional to the style of the house, followed by a bathroom remodel in 2023 that continues the same cohesive approach. In 2025, the entire home was freshly painted, new lighting was added throughout, and a radon mitigation system was installed, creating a move-in-ready feel while maintaining the home’s original warmth. The main floor offers two bedrooms, with an additional room upstairs provides a private third bedroom or flexible bonus space. The finished basement features an incredible movie room complete with LED accent lighting and wiring for surround sound, along with an unfinished storage room featuring an epoxied floor for clean, durable storage. Outside, the yard adds to the home’s charm with two apple trees, a peach tree, and raspberry plants, offering both beauty and seasonal enjoyment. Large 8x21 deck in front plus patio in the back. Garage is fully insulated and heated. Updated windows, and siding replaced in 2014! With updates completed over time, quality craftsmanship, and improvements that feel true to the age of the home, this bungalow offers a rare combination of character, confidence, and comfort.
