About This Home

This charming 3-bedroom ranch offers comfortable living in a convenient Ames location. Original hardwood floors bring warmth and character to the bright living room, hallway, and bedrooms. The functional kitchen provides generous cabinet and counter space, an informal dining area, and sliding glass doors overlooking the fenced backyard, offering the opportunity to create a deck or patio tailored to your style. A built-in desk nook provides a convenient space for working from home, studying, or staying organized. The full basement offers laundry, storage, and plenty of usable space. The attached garage features a rear overhead door, allowing convenient drive-through access to the backyard--ideal for lawn equipment, trailers, or outdoor projects. Recent improvements include a new refrigerator, washer, dryer, gutters, lighting, and updated faucet fixtures. Situated between historic Downtown Ames and North Ames, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, parks, a public golf course, and an elementary school just half a block away.
