About This Home
As of August 2025Experience charm, comfort, and thoughtful design in this beautiful 4-bedroom, 2.5-
bathroom home tucked into a peaceful semi-cul-de-sac directly across from St. Cecilia
Catholic Church in one of Ames'; most desirable neighborhoods. From the moment you
arrive, you will notice the pride of ownership and attention to detail throughout.
Inside, the home offers a welcoming atmosphere with updated flooring (2025) and spacious
living and dining areas. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring marble
countertops, modern splash, and an elegant hood (2023). Step outside to relax in the
screened porch, ideal for morning coffee, evening wind-downs, or enjoying the backyard
without the bugs.
Whether hosting gatherings on the composite deck, working in the home office, or simply
enjoying the privacy of the fenced yard, this home fits a variety of lifestyles. Located just
minutes from parks, schools, and Iowa State University, this is a rare opportunity to own a
well-maintained and move-in ready home in a quiet, family-friendly location.
