About This Home
As of September 2026Opportunity awaits in this solid brick ranch! An addition on the back makes this home larger than it looks. Just off the living room, you'll find an expanded kitchen, large dining area, and a bathroom/mudroom with main-floor laundry. Down the hallway, you'll find another full bath and two bedrooms. The larger bedroom has two doorways and two closets and could easily be converted back into two separate bedrooms, providing three main-floor bedrooms if needed.
The finished basement includes a large family room, additional laundry hookups, and a half bath. Outside, you'll find an attached two-car tandem garage and a fenced-in yard with mature trees. The roof is new, and with some cosmetic updates, this home could be a great first home or investment property. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood close to parks, downtown Ames, and CyRide. An existing letter of compliance with the City of Ames adds to its rental potential.
