Welcome to this spacious and beautifully maintained two-story home in NW Ames, offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and an oversized 2-car attached garage. Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood with mature backyard trees, shrubs, and perennials, this home provides both privacy and charm with thoughtful updates and nearly 2800 finished square feet of living space for today's lifestyle.
Step inside to a generous entryway and discover maple hardwood floors throughout the main level. The large living room features tall ceilings, elegant crown molding, and abundant natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen boasts maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances—including a new electric range (2024)—a peninsula with bar seating, recessed lighting, and a window over the sink with views of the backyard. A spacious dining area leads to a concrete patio, perfect for outdoor dining or entertaining. You'll also find a convenient half bath, excellent storage, and a mudroom/laundry area (with new washer in 2024) providing direct access to the oversized garage.
Upstairs, a wide hallway connects 4 spacious bedrooms and a common full bathroom with tile flooring and dual vanities. Each bedroom has 2 large Pella windows for great natural lighting. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a tray ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and an attached ¾ bath featuring tile floors and dual vanities.
The finished basement extends the living space with a large family room, a 5th non-conforming bedroom (ideal for an office or workout space—egress window, but no closet), a ¾ bath with corner shower, and access to a relaxing built-in sauna. A mechanical room includes excellent storage, a workbench, and updated systems: new furnace, A/C, and water heater (all 2024), and a new sump pump (2025).
Located in a welcoming part of Ames with mature landscaping and quick access to Sawyer Elementary and ISU Campus. Don't miss the chance to make it yours!'
