About This Home
Closer to Ames than you'd think... quieter than you'd expect. Welcome to 5524 N Dakota Ave- a fully remodeled walkout ranch in the Gilbert School District offering privacy, thoughtful updates, and functional main-level living. Tucked on 0.64 acres just off Cameron School Road, this home backs to mature trees and offers room to grow- including space at the back of the lot to add an additional shed or outbuilding, pending city approval. Inside, a bright, open-concept layout welcomes you with large east-facing windows that fill the home with natural light. The newly reconfigured floor plan includes main-level laundry, a full bath, and two spacious bedrooms- ideal for everyday ease and comfort. The kitchen shines with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern finishes that flow into the living and dining spaces. Downstairs offers two more bedrooms, a second living area, and a wet bar- perfect for entertaining or extended living. Outside, enjoy the benefits of a 2025 septic system, new siding, new roof, and extensive landscaping with new retaining walls, a concrete patio, fresh plantings, and a newly seeded lawn. With a 2-car attached garage and the option for more, this property is move-in ready and full of potential- all within minutes of both Ames and Gilbert, and with no gravel roads to worry about.
