About This Home

Freshly remodeled and full of natural light, this Central Ames bungalow is the kind of property that rarely comes to market. With 672 square feet of efficient, beautifully finished space, it's ideal for anyone who values smart design, low-maintenance living, and a location that puts you minutes from campus, downtown, and everything else Ames has to offer.

Inside, the home has been completely updated; featuring luxury vinyl plank flooring, an updated kitchen and bath, and clean, modern finishes throughout. The layout is simple but thoughtful, with two comfortable bedrooms and a surprisingly spacious primary suite with generous closet space and natural light.

The exterior has been refreshed with new paint and a brand-new roof, giving the home a clean, updated look and long-term durability. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for a manageable home, a parent searching for a place near campus for your student, or an investor wanting a well-located short-term rental, this property is a smart, low-maintenance option in a high-demand area.

It's the best of both worlds; classic bungalow charm with all the benefits of an interior and exterior renovation. And with its central location in a walkable Ames neighborhood, you're just minutes from Iowa State University, grocery stores, restaurants, parks, and more. Why rent when you can own a thoughtfully updated home in the heart of it all?
