About This Home
As of May 2026Located in highly desirable NE Ames directly across from Homewood Golf Course, this beautifully maintained two-story home with over 3100 finished square feet offers 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a 2-car attached garage in a picturesque setting. The main floor welcomes you with an inviting tiled entryway, coat closet, and open stairway. A spacious living room features oak hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a wood-burning stove, flowing seamlessly into the formal dining room with matching hardwoods. The kitchen showcases bamboo flooring, oak cabinetry, quartz countertops, new hardware, a new electric cooktop, newer stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry. A breakfast nook with bamboo flooring opens to the cozy family room with gas fireplace, built-in storage, bamboo floors, and a sliding door to the expansive screened-in porch. A main-floor home office with oak hardwoods and a convenient half bath complete this level. Upstairs, new carpet on the stairs and hallway leads to the primary suite with oak hardwood floors, sconce reading lights, a walk-in closet with custom storage, and an updated ensuite full bath with tile floors and tiled shower surround. Three additional spacious bedrooms with large closets and oak hardwood flooring share a full bath with double sinks. The finished lower level offers a large L-shaped family room with built-in bookshelves, bench seating, Berber carpeting (one corner has fitness tiles where the childrens' indoor playset sat), and is stubbed for a future wet bar. Also included are a 3⁄4 bathroom, laundry/mechanical room, and a large unfinished storage area with extensive shelving. Outdoor living shines with an open front porch offering scenic views, a generous screened-in porch with space for dining and lounging, a paver patio, cedar-fenced yard, mature hardwoods, flowering crabapples, and beautiful landscaping. Additional updates include a new roof (2020), new AC (2025), new water heater (2021), fresh interior and exterior paint, active radon mitigation system, and an AHS home warranty for added peace of mind.
