We are excited to share this charming 2-bedroom home with you. It's an amazing value that sits on a large corner lot with the convenience of a fenced yard & the shade of beautiful mature trees. It's move-in ready so there will be plenty of time for a new owner to sit back & relax on the screened front porch. It's just minutes from all the amenities of downtown Ames. The main level provides a light & bright kitchen with a pantry, a living room, a full bath, a spacious dining room with white-painted built-in shelving, plus a main level bedroom & laundry room. Much of the flooring has been updated with luxury vinyl plank. AC & furnace were both new in 2019. There is also updated plumbing & wiring. The upper level provides a second bedroom as well as an office/den space that would also make a great playroom or study. The current owner also had a dishwasher added. The washer was new in 2022. Additional features include a new roof on the garage in 2019, plus there is a back screened breezeway that creates a great drop zone for boots & backpacks.
