Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from March 15, 2024
If you are looking for a place full of character and close to a lot of amenities, this gem is for you! Welcome to this charming 3-bed, 1-bath, 1930's story and a half cottage-style home. It has fantastic curb appeal and close proximity to Roosevelt Park, downtown Ames, and ISU campus. The character is found in the solid wood doors with intricate glass doorknobs, hardwood oak floors, newer windows and doors and so much more. As you enter the house, you'll find a large living room that leads to an arched dining room that flows right out through the french doors to a three seasons room which is perfect for family time and entertaining. The porch leads right to the backyard for BBQ and a fenced-in private yard lined with perennial flowers, with a perfect spot for a garden. The main floor has a picture rail easy for switching out decor with no nails needed. There are two bedrooms on the main level. The basement is partially finished for more space and a workshop room with a bench included. As you walk up to the second floor you enter a very bright and inviting open space, which is very versatile, along with the third bedroom. In the tandem garage, there is space for two vehicles with plenty of storage space above. This home has been loved and cared for by the same owners for 16 years. Stop by to experience all its charm and see why this neighborhood is such a sought after area of Ames.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAwesome teachers but miserable administration at all levels. So worried about political correctness that they will not back their teachers, and will not AT ALL focus on an effective learning environment for those who simply want to learn. The Ames school system as a whole needs a complete review of discipline policies - student violence against teachers and fellow students is absolutely out of control . EA's are not valued, so help for students with with special needs is also at risk . But by golly - don't mess with our sports programs ( oh yes - not successful either).Other Review4y ago - Meeker Elementary School
