This home is currently listed as a ''delayed showing''. Under no circumstances will any showings be allowed until September 25th at 9:00am. This updated 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home is a doozy! This well-cared-for ranch offers a peaceful backyard oasis in a convenient North Ames location. The updated craftsman-inspired exterior combines curb appeal with low-maintenance features, including cement board siding, stone accents, and composite decking in front. A screened in porch adds to the exterior charm. Inside, that same character continues with custom woodwork, updated doors and trim, high-end windows, updated HVAC and water heater, and more. The large, south-facing backyard is fully enclosed with a privacy fence and features a rainwater harvesting system that will help if you want to build an impressive garden and to maintain the small pond. The basement provides plenty of storage and flex space with room to expand and make it your own. The lower level is also stubbed for an additional bathroom. This a great chance to buy a home at a fantastic price! Call today to schedule a showing.
