About this House

What's unique:Mature treesGleaming hardwood floorsCharming front porchKitchen and dining areaAttached two-car garage
Pride of ownership shines at 4100 Phoenix Street, an exceptionally well-maintained 4-bedroom ranch tucked into one of west Ames' most established neighborhoods. Mature trees, a charming front porch, and an attached two-car garage create a warm first impression, and the care this home has received is evident the moment you arrive. This is the kind of home where you can unpack, settle in, and simply enjoy it.
Inside, gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, adding warmth and timeless character to almost every room. The living room offers a comfortable, light-filled space to gather, while the kitchen and dining area make everyday meals and entertaining easy. Two main-floor bedrooms provide convenient one-level living, and a dedicated office/den with built-in bookshelves offers a quiet, polished retreat for working from home, studying, or curling up with a favorite book. It's the kind of room buyers wish every home had, and it adds flexibility you'll appreciate for years to come.
The finished lower level adds a remarkable amount of living space, with the cozy comfort of carpet underfoot. Two generously sized bedrooms offer plenty of room for guests, hobbies, or a private retreat, and the spacious living area is ready for movie nights, game days, or a home gym. Two full bathrooms plus a half bath keep busy mornings and overnight visits running smoothly, and there's still room left over for laundry and storage. Everyone has space to spread out here.
Outside, the enjoyment continues. Two decks extend your living space into the backyard, offering plenty of room for grilling, morning coffee, and relaxing summer evenings beneath the shade of mature trees. The yard gives you room to garden, play, and enjoy the outdoors, and a shed keeps tools and seasonal items neatly organized. The attached garage offers ample room for vehicles, storage, and weekend projects, and it keeps you out of the weather on those Iowa winter mornings.
Comfort comes standard with central air and forced-air gas heat, and the consistent care this home has received over the years shows in every detail. Homes this well maintained, with this much finished space, four bedrooms, and a dedicated office, don't come along often, especially in an established neighborhood like this one.
Location matters, and this one delivers: a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood close to Sawyer Elementary, parks, shopping, and dining, with easy access to Iowa State University and Highway 30 for simple commutes across Ames and beyond. You'll love being tucked away on a peaceful street while staying just minutes from everything Ames has to offer.
Whether you're looking for room to spread out, a home office with character, or a move-in-ready ranch with space for everyone, 4100 Phoenix Street checks every box. Schedule your private showing today and see for yourself why this one is something special.
