Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Ankeny, 426 NE 16th Street offers elevated updates, generous space, and everyday convenience just minutes from parks, dining, shopping, and healthcare amenities. Thoughtfully re-envisioned over time, this home lives better than many new builds today, with extensive renovations and a new roof installed in 2025. The main living space is warm, welcoming, and filled with natural light, while the layout is well-connected, offering defined spaces that flow beautifully from one to the next. The kitchen blends form & function with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island ideal for both daily living and entertaining. A built-in coffee bar adds a charming, everyday touch that makes mornings easier, while the sunroom serves as your private retreat, perfect for quiet mornings or winding down at night. The main-level primary suite features vaulted ceilings, an ensuite bath, and a custom walk-in closet, alongside a second bedroom, half bath, and a spacious mudroom and laundry area with a wash sink, built-in benches, and generous storage. The fully updated lower level adds approximately 1, 400 finished square feet with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a wet bar, and a statement fireplace. A basement walkout leads to an oversized concrete patio and a 0.45-acre yard, offering privacy and plenty of breathing room outdoors. Thoughtful, well-designed, and a home that truly lives even better than it looks.
