Tucked into 1.3 wooded acres in Ankeny's coveted Kidman Estates, this 2016-built 1.5 story delivers the rare combination of newer construction & true acreage privacy. Mature trees frame the property & fill the views from every window, creating a quiet, secluded setting you can't replicate in newer Ankeny developments. Inside, rich hardwood floors and soaring ceilings set an immediate tone of warmth and scale. The main level centers on a stunning great room anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling fireplace, the natural gathering point for every season. The chef's kitchen offers an abundance of marble countertop space, a huge center island built for crowds, a walk-in pantry, and a cozy sitting area warmed by a real wood-burning fireplace, a rare detail in newer construction. A dedicated main-level office offers a peaceful view of the front yard, making working from home feel like a retreat. The private primary suite completes the main floor with a spa-inspired bath and oversized walk-in closet. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms. Two share a full bath, while the third is a private ensuite. The finished walkout lower level expands the home to over 5,000 finished square feet, with flexible space for media and recreation, a wet bar built for entertaining, an additional bedroom and bath, and ample storage, walking out to the wooded backyard. Outside, a screened deck, patio with basketball pad, and firepit tucked back into the trees, built for tents, s'mores, and summer nights.
