About This Home
As of June 2026Welcome to 719 Garden Road, a home that offers a rare blend of thoughtful updates, outdoor beauty, and a beautiful outdoor setting unlike anywhere else in Ames. Inside, this well maintained ranch style home features a comfortable and functional layout with two bedrooms on the main level, inviting living spaces, and a finished lower level that provides additional flexibility for everyday living, hosting guests, or creating a third bedroom. With over 900 square feet on the main level and a finished basement, the home lives larger than it appears and offers a great balance of space and efficiency. Where this property truly shines is outdoors. The newly remodeled three tier deck is the centerpiece of the backyard, designed for both relaxing evenings and effortless entertaining. Each level offers its own purpose, whether it is enjoying a quiet morning coffee, hosting friends for a summer evening, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. The backyard gardens have been carefully cultivated, creating a sense of privacy and tranquility that is hard to find. Mature landscaping, thoughtful plantings, and the natural flow of the yard make this space feel like your own private retreat right in the heart of Ames.
If you have been looking for a home with character, outdoor living, and a tranquil setting that stands apart, 719 Garden Road is a must see!
