About this House

Tucked into a quiet Ames cul-de-sac, this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, ranch style home offers easy one-level living in a convenient location close the the Middle School and Hwy 30. Inside, a brick wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy focal point and adds timeless character to the living space. Key updates help take some of the bigger projects off your list, with the roof, furnace, and central air all replaced in 2020. Outside, enjoy extra privacy in the fully fenced backyard. A wooden deck extends the living space outdoors and offers a great spot for entertaining, gardening, relaxing, or giving pets room to play. The clean, unfinished lower level provides generous storage, a workshop or a blank slate for future finished living space. You will enjoy the convenience of having the attached, oversized 2 car garage!
