Welcome to this charming 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home. Thoughtfully cared for and updated, this property offers character and peace of mind thanks to a new roof (2023) and a new water heater (2025).

The main floor is comfortable with a practical layout, while the partially finished basement has an additional bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, the finished attic (468 sq ft) is a versatile area—perfect for a large bedroom, playroom or office.

Outside, you'll find a detached oversized 1-car garage that offers plenty of storage and workspace. The well-kept exterior and mature neighborhood setting create an inviting curb appeal, making this property a standout.

This home's convenient location on Northwestern Ave places you near schools, parks, and within walking distance to downtown Ames and all the amenities it has to offer.

Don't miss the opportunity to make this beautifully maintained home yours.
