Nestled just west of Jack Trice Stadium and Reiman Gardens, this charming 1951 home offers a blend of vintage charm and modern convenience. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an oversized 2-car garage, this property is a gem waiting to be discovered.

Outside, the fenced-in yard boasts beautiful landscaping, highlighted by mature flowering trees. A large 24x14 shed/shop provides ample storage space, while a concrete patio invites outdoor relaxation.

Step inside to find a spacious main floor adorned with oak hardwood floors, basking in natural light. The large bedrooms offer comfort and tranquility. A convenient main floor laundry room with storage simplifies chores, accompanied by a full bathroom.

The living and dining room combo create an ideal space for entertaining, leading to a large kitchen adorned with oak cabinets, granite countertops, and backsplash. Featuring 2 sinks and a breakfast nook with serene backyard views, this kitchen is a chef's delight.

A mudroom offers further functionality with an upright freezer, second refrigerator, and access to the oversized 2-car garage, complete with built-in shelving, storage, and a gardening sink, plus an outlet for a whole-home generator.

Descend to the basement level to discover a large family room boasting a custom walnut built-in hutch and wall and ceiling surround sound speakers. The third bedroom, with 3 closets, offers versatility, while a den or office space with oak bookcases provides an ideal retreat. An updated 3/4 bathroom with a cedar closet adds to the basement's appeal.

The utility room ensures efficiency with ample storage, radon mitigation, and a well-maintained furnace and AC system. A new water heater in 2023 and a new roof in the same year offer peace of mind. Plus, a 1-year AHS warranty completes this enticing package. Don't miss your chance to make this your new home!

    "I’ve lived here for 2 years. It’s ISU owned housing so we have most amenities. It’s near Greek housing so there is a large party scene on the weekends. It’s also near Lincoln Way so it can be loud."

    "Its nice to live close to campus but it would be better if it had some grocery store near by. It feels safe and I like that the bars are right across the street!"

    "This neighborhood has homes that are a 12 minute walk from Iowa State University campus, and that have a 3-mile cross country course directly behind them. It is a safe neighborhood on a bus route. Campus town shops and restaurants are a 5 minute walk. While students live in campus town as well, one becomes aware of them only on a few weekend evenings a year. "
