Stylish, spacious, and full of extras — this 1-level stunner is more than just a home... it's a lifestyle upgrade!
Built in 2019 and recently enhanced with a new roof, AC, and newer furnace, this home is move-in ready with room to grow. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, offering a cozy spot to enjoy morning coffee or greet guests in style! The open-concept layout is perfect for entertaining, with a bright and airy kitchen, a walk-in pantry, and seamless flow into the dining and living spaces. Cozy up by the electric fireplace, complete with a statement mantel ready for your seasonal flair.
The primary suite is a true retreat with built-ins, deeper closets, and thoughtful storage throughout the home. Head outside to your backyard oasis—featuring a pergola-covered deck, a professionally poured 6-inch thick concrete patio (hello hot tub or outdoor lounge potential!), and a fully fenced yard with a double gate for easy access.
But wait—there's more! The oversized, insulated 3-car garage is a dream for hobbyists or anyone needing extra space, complete with over 3.5 feet of foam insulation, a dedicated 100-amp panel, and bonus parking for an RV, trailer, or extra vehicle.
Downstairs, the daylight basement includes an egress window and is already stubbed for a bathroom—offering a blank canvas for future living space, home gym, or guest suite.
All this is tucked into the sought-after Author streets neighborhood, just minutes from Edwards Elementary, Ames Middle School, ISU, Hwy 30, and I-35.
Modern conveniences, smart storage, and quality craftsmanship—inside and out. This is one you don't want to miss!
