    What's special

    Don't let this 4 BR/2 Bath ranch located on campus get away! Just three blocks from ISU State Gym, and nearby all things west Ames, this home is a perfect fit for ISU students, faculty or staff associated! Get your creative juices flowing by applying a fresh coat of paint and new hardware to freshen up this solid home with your own style! Take a look at the attic area and see what you dream up for using that space as well. While this home has a DEED RESTRICTION which does not allow for it to be used as a rental, there are no limitations for family members that would live in the home. It does have a current letter of compliance from the city of Ames that allows for up to 5 people to occupy the home, but could not receive rent per the deed restriction. Hardwood floors in the bedrooms are in great shape, and the huge family room downstairs can be used for any type of entertainment or be used as a guest area. The massive storage area is a bonus in this large ranch priced to sell!

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
