About This Home
Fantastic 4-bed, 3-bath walkout ranch on a quiet cul-de-sac in Ames. The home sits on a .6-acre lot with mature trees and a peaceful view of a neighboring pond. The HOA covers garbage, water, sewer, road maintenance, and snow removal. The exterior features brick and cedar siding with welcoming curb appeal. Inside, a tiled foyer opens to a spacious living room with a fireplace and windows that capture natural light. The living room connects to the dining area, sunroom, and kitchen. The dining space offers deck access for outdoor grilling and relaxing. The sunroom, set behind French doors, provides scenic views from three sides. The kitchen includes granite counters, a tiled backsplash, pantry, peninsula seating, and stainless steel appliances. A laundry/mud room is just off the kitchen and leads to the 3-car heated garage. The main level features a primary suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with dual sinks, granite vanity, tiled shower, heated floor, and private deck. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the main floor. The walkout lower level includes a large family room, a bedroom, a full bath, and abundant storage space. Updates include bathroom remodels, laminate basement flooring, and newer mechanicals, roof, gutters, and garage doors. The home also features a whole-house water filtration system and thoughtful landscaping. Conveniently located near recreation, shops, and local amenities.
