3409 NE 8th Street

Tucked on a charming corner in northeast Ankeny, this daylight ranch feels like the perfect blend of storybook comfort and everyday ease—just 15 minutes to downtown for a quick commute when duty calls. Step inside and you’re greeted by sun-drenched spaces, where oversized windows lead you to a covered deck made for morning coffee and golden hour unwinding. The heart of the home beats in the spacious kitchen, featuring a grand island for gathering, an eat-in dining nook, and a wonderfully oversized pantry ready to keep life organized. Cozy evenings await in the expansive family room, where a gas fireplace sets the scene for laughter and relaxation. The main level hosts three bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a beautifully tiled shower. Downstairs, the daylight lower level invites fun with a second family room, wet bar, two additional bedrooms, and ample storage. Outside, your private backyard retreat awaits—complete with trees, a pergola-covered patio, hot tub, fire pit, and fenced yard. Even better, the city handles the side sidewalk snow removal—because life should feel just a little easier here.
