About This Home

As of September 2025

This charming mid-century ranch in West Ames has so much to offer! Tucked away on a quiet street lined with mature trees, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features original hardwood floors throughout the entry, living room, hallway, and both main-floor bedrooms. The main level includes a cozy family/dining area with a gas fireplace and an abundance of windows that flood the space with natural light while showcasing serene backyard views. The lower level adds versatility with two non-conforming bedrooms—ideal for a home office, creative space, or guest room. Need a workshop? You'll find that here, too. Just minutes from shopping, local coffee spots, Iowa State University, and conveniently located on the CyRide route. This home is being sold as-is—a wonderful opportunity to make it your own!
