About This Home

As of January 2026

Located just minutes from all the city of Ames and within the Gilbert school district, this 3-bed, 2.25-bath is the best of both worlds and sits on a scenic 1.1-acre treed lot along a hard-surface road. The property offers multiple living spaces, including a living room with vaulted ceilings, a dining area with a built-in buffet, and a family room featuring a gas fireplace, built-ins, a wet bar, and direct access to the deck overlooking mature trees. The kitchen eating area is framed by a large picture window with wooded views. The upper level includes the primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a three-quarter bath. A lower-level den with built-ins offers flexible work or hobby space. HOA dues cover water usage, garbage service, subdivision road maintenance, snow removal, and the community's updated sewer system completed in 2021.Buyers who enjoy updating a home to fit their style will find solid potential here. While some areas would benefit from maintenance and improvements, the layout, setting, and square footage create a strong foundation for personalization. To help offset potential project costs the buyers may choose to do after closing, the seller is offering a closing cost credit.
