Picture yourself in this FABULOUS one and a half story brick cape cod full of warmth, sunshine and charm. You won't find many homes in Ankeny of this size with so much character. The kitchen, dining room and bedrooms have gorgeous wooden floors and the interior walls have beautiful pottery barn colors. There is an inviting family room with fireplace for cold winter nights and a back deck overlooking the shaded yard and hosta garden for relaxation on warm evenings. You can almost see the vegetable garden that is behind the garage from the back deck too. The basement has a convenient entrance to the outside for easy access to the unfinished man cave.
