    What's special

    Freshly painted exteriorSpacious covered front porch
    Welcome to this charming home in the heart of Ames! Conveniently located near Iowa State University, Ames High School, and historic downtown Ames, this home offers both character and modern updates. Inside, you'll find a bright sunroom just off the primary bedroom, along with a versatile main-level office or pantry. The kitchen and bathroom were completely remodeled in early 2022, including the removal of a dividing wall to create a more open layout with a functional center island. During the renovation, the main-level plaster walls and bathroom walls were replaced with drywall, and new insulation was added for improved comfort and efficiency. Outside, you'll find a freshly painted exterior! Enjoy relaxing or entertaining on the spacious covered front porch, or gather around the fire pit in the large backyard. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a home close to campus, or simply want to enjoy all that Ames has to offer, this move-in-ready property is one you won't want to miss!
