Tucked among the trees in Ames' sought-after Westwood neighborhood, this Buck-built contemporary home is one of those rare finds that feels like a private retreat while still being minutes from everything the west side has to offer. The striking angular roofline makes an immediate impression, and the mature tree canopy gives the property a peaceful, wooded character that's hard to come by. Inside, 2,322 square feet of above-grade living space flows across a thoughtfully designed floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The open staircase with rich wood framing, abundant natural light, and views of the surrounding trees from nearly every window give this home a warm, connected-to-nature feel. Practical updates mean the big-ticket items are already done with new siding, doors, windows, and roof in 2019, and a new furnace and AC in 2023. Main floor laundry with a washer/dryer combo unit adds everyday convenience, and EV owners will love the supercharger already installed in the garage. A partially finished basement provides 243 sq ft of ready-to-use space, with plenty of potential to finish even more. If you've been looking for something with genuine personality in a proven Ames location, this is it. All information obtained from seller and public records.
