About This Home

As of March 2022

Incredible opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home downtown right in the heart of the Ames historic district! With 2 bedrooms on the main floor and 2 more upstairs, the choice is yours: do you keep the master suite on the main floor that includes an adjoining office and 1/2 bath or do you use the upper level as the master suite complete with soaking tub, sitting room, and skylights? You can't go wrong either way! You'll love the wraparound 3 season porch out front once the weather warms up. In the meantime, cozy up with a book next to the wood burning fireplace and enjoy peace of mind living. With recent updates to the furnace, A/C, water heater, roof, and most windows, the hard work has already been done for you! Step into the backyard and you'll be greeted by a fenced-in sanctuary complete with koi pond and gardens that have grown everything from asparagus and tomatoes to rhubarb and strawberries! The detached 2 car garage even boasts a bonus space ready for poker night, a playhouse for the kids, or anything else you can imagine. Don't miss out on this home with tons of character - it won't last long!
