    Escape the pace of town and enjoy the tranquility of country living in this inviting 3-bedroom, walk-out two-story home tucked among mature trees just northwest of Ames. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, this wooded retreat offers exceptional privacy and a peaceful setting where nature takes center stage. Inside, the main level features an open-concept layout designed for comfortable everyday living. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating a welcoming gathering space for family and friends. The dining area offers direct access to a treated wood deck, making it easy to enjoy outdoor meals, grilling, or simply relaxing while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the woods. Steps lead down to a concrete patio, providing additional space for outdoor entertaining. The kitchen offers abundant cabinet and counter space, laminate countertops, a tiled backsplash, center island, peninsula-style breakfast bar, pantry, and included stainless steel appliances. Just beyond the kitchen, you'll find one of the home's most enjoyable spaces—a bright and inviting sun porch. Whether you're reading a favorite book, enjoying your morning coffee, or tending to houseplants, this versatile room is sure to become a favorite. A second deck overlooks the tree-filled backyard and offers another peaceful place to unwind. Outside, the property provides room to enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle with a concrete pad, utility shed, and plenty of yard space surrounded by mature timber. Back inside and completing the main level is a recently remodeled full bathroom featuring a step-in shower, along with convenient access to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and comfortable carpeting. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom with tub/shower combination, and a bonus room perfect for a playroom, or flexible living space complete the upper level. The walk-out lower level adds even more living space with a large family room centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace. A sliding glass door provides direct access to the patio and backyard. You'll also appreciate the generous storage area, laundry space, and included washer and dryer. Major updates provide added peace of mind, including a new furnace, central air conditioner, and water heater in 2023, a new roof and gutters in 2024, and a remodeled main-floor bathroom in 2026. If you've been searching for a home that offers privacy, mature trees, and a connection to the outdoors while remaining just a short commute from Ames, this property is well worth a look.
