About this House

Welcome to 723 Duff Avenue—Stop #18 on the Old Town Historic District Walking Tour and a rare chance to own a piece of Ames history. Built in 1921 by Harris W. Stafford, a local entrepreneur and early community leader, this beautifully maintained Craftsman-style home offers timeless character with modern updates throughout. The classic brick exterior, new roof, and beautifully landscaped yard set the tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, you'll find tall ceilings, original wood trim, and refinished hardwood floors. The living and dining rooms highlight the home's original Craftsman character with a brick fireplace, wood staircase with a pocket door, and built-ins including a writing desk and pass-through buffet. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, new countertops, a gas stove, and stainless steel appliances. The home features four spacious bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet for comfortable, everyday living. There are two fully updated full bathrooms—one on each floor—complete with modern tile, new vanities, and fresh finishes throughout. On the main level, a versatile bedroom with built-in shelving and a private bath offers the option of a primary suite or a quiet home office. A rare bonus—the original 1921 blueprints are still with the home, offering a direct link to its rich past. Outside, you'll find gorgeous seasonal color and easy-care landscaping, including mature oak and maple trees, lilacs, pear and apple trees, and raised garden beds. Enjoy a morning coffee on the enclosed front porch, summer BBQs on the brick patio, and space to spread out in the fenced yard. Out back, you'll find a two-car garage with easy side street access, plus a garden shed for extra storage. Located on a tree-lined street just blocks from Bandshell Park, the Farmers' Market, downtown Ames, and the CyRide route to Iowa State, this home offers the perfect blend of history, comfort, and community.
