Description

Built in 2018, this modern ranch home offers the space, upgrades, and quality construction today's buyers are looking for without the new construction price tag.
The open floor plan features beautiful wood floors, large windows, and a gas fireplace in the main living area. The kitchen includes a gas stove, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and a large center island. Just off the kitchen is an open dining area with a transom window and patio door that bring in natural light and provide easy access to the backyard. The fully fenced yard includes a firepit area and a covered deck, perfect for grilling or relaxing outdoors. The spacious primary suite includes double sinks, a tiled shower, and a walk-in closet with easy access to the laundry room. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The finished lower level offers a large family room with a wet bar, fridge, and even a golf simulator, along with a fourth bedroom, guest bath, and finished flex room ideal for exercise, hobbies, or a workshop. The oversized garage is insulated and heated for year-round functionality. Roof and siding were replaced in 2024. Located in West Ames near schools, ISU bus stops, a neighborhood coffee shop, and convenient access to Highway 30. With over 1,800 square feet on the main level plus a fully finished basement, this home offers room to spread out, entertain, and move right in.
