1114 Scott Ave, Ames, IA 50014

Welcome to this lovingly cared-for home, nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from the natural beauty of Emma McCarthy Lee Park and only minutes from Iowa State University. Owned and meticulously maintained by the same homeowners for the past 58 years, this residence is ready to welcome its next chapter. As you arrive, you'll be greeted by a charming covered front porch, fresh exterior paint, and newer shingles on both the home and garage. The oversized one-plus car garage offers exceptional space—wider and deeper than most—while an adjacent paved area provides additional parking. The expansive backyard is a true highlight, featuring an electrified 8' x 10' storage shed perfect for tools, hobbies, or extra storage. Relax or entertain on the east-facing covered patio, a shaded retreat for enjoying spring, summer, and fall evenings outdoors. Inside, the main floor offers a welcoming living room with newer carpet, a dining area with durable laminate flooring, a convenient main-level bedroom, and a full bath. The functional kitchen provides ample counter space and cabinetry, ready for your culinary creations. Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, each with unique closet storage that includes built-in drawer space, along with a handy half bath. The lower level expands your living options with a cozy finished family room complete with a gas fireplace, a den or home office, and a laundry area with an additional shower and hand sink. The dry basement offers both comfort and practicality. From its prime location near parks, trails, and campus, to its spacious yard and thoughtful updates, this home presents an incredible opportunity for its next owner. The Sellers are affording the Buyer a $2000 credit to the Buyer at Closing for the replacement of the range in the kitchen (to be applied as a Buyer's Closing Cost Credit).
