Property Description

Welcome to 422 SE 3rd Street- a home that feels more like a handwritten letter than a blueprint. Tucked into one of Ankeny’s most beloved neighborhoods, this 1961 brick ranch isn’t trying to be trendy. It’s timeless, cozy, and full of personality. With 3 bedrooms (one non-conforming), 2 bathrooms, and a lovingly maintained 1800+ sq ft layout, this home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its vintage soul. Original hardwood floors shine with pride. Painted kitchen cabinets and updated light fixtures add a splash of charm, and a finished lower level offers even more space to make your own—complete with a wet bar, mini fridge, and new luxury vinyl plank flooring. The lower-level primary suite is a rare find, boasting a walk-in closet and private ¾ bath. Outside, you’ll find a new driveway that fits up to three vehicles, a backyard shed for all your gardening dreams, and mature trees that make every evening feel like a page from a storybook. Additional perks include a new water heater, new dryer, radon mitigation system, and a roof updated in 2018-2019. Plus—appliances stay! This home stands apart from the crowd—not cookie-cutter, but lovingly curated with character and care. And the location? Just blocks from Uptown Ankeny, parks, and tree-lined streets perfect for morning walks and evening bike rides. Come see why 422 SE 3rd feels more like home than anything else you’ve seen.
