3095 Ridgeview Dr, Ely, IA 52227

Some homes check boxes. This one raises the bar. Set in the highly sought-after College Community School District, 3095 Ridgeview Dr is a split-bedroom ranch that delivers the rare combination of thoughtful design, consistent investment, and the kind of livable square footage that makes every day feel effortless. With 1,693 sq ft on the main level and a fully finished lower level, this isn't just a ranch. It's a complete lifestyle. The main level opens with soaring 9-foot ceilings and a living room anchored by a dramatic 10-foot tray ceiling, where natural light pours through large windows and an oversized sliding door. Fresh LVP flooring installed in 2022 flows through the main living area, and updated railings give the space a clean, modern edge. The kitchen is built to impress: an 8-foot island, granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, double pantry, and stainless appliances combine form and function in equal measure. The custom drop zone off the garage entry keeps everyday life organized the moment you walk in the door, and the laundry room with cabinetry means storage is never an afterthought. The split-bedroom layout is a genuine differentiator. The private primary suite features a tray ceiling, a double-vanity en suite bath with tile, and a large walk-in closet with custom built-in organizers, all dressed in brand-new carpet installed in January 2025. Two additional bedrooms are tucked to the opposite side of the home, making the layout ideal for families, guests, or anyone who values privacy. Central vac with toe-kicks, a whole-house humidifier, water softener, and included window treatments round out a main level that is genuinely move-in ready. Step through the sliding door and into the 12x12 three-season porch, converted in October 2023, where a wide-open backyard view with no neighbors behind creates the kind of serene outdoor living space that simply can't be replicated. Bonus storage underneath the porch keeps the exterior just as organized as the interior. Downstairs, the lower level was built to entertain. Oversized daylight windows flood the space with light, while LVP flooring and a large family room anchored by a distinctive pallet-board gas fireplace set a warm, welcoming tone. The wet bar, complete with sink, dishwasher, and spot for a refrigerator, means your guests never have to go upstairs. A fourth bedroom, full bath, and a flexible bonus room ready for a home office, gym, or fifth bedroom complete a lower level that punches well above its weight. And then there's the garage. Heated, painted, and stretching beyond 1,000 square feet across four stalls, it features tall ceilings, a 40-foot deep third stall with an 11-foot door, softened hot and cold water hookups, and a side service door. Whether you're storing a camper, a boat, or pursuing a serious hobby, this space was built for it. Homes with this combination of layout, updates, school district, and garage rarely last.
