2108 Hughes Ave, Ames, IA 50014

This one-of-a-kind home commands attention from its graceful perch on a hill just south of the ISU campus. Perfectly positioned in a quiet pocket of the neighborhood, it's within walking distance to campus as well as Hilton Coliseum, Jack Trice Stadium, Stephens Auditorium, coffee shops, and restaurants-a location that is hard to beat! From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the sprawling front porch and the thoughtfully designed landscaping filled with lush Hosta and curated perennials which creates stunning curb appeal while the irrigation system ensures effortless maintenance. Inside, timeless character meets refined comfort. Beautiful (and recently refinished) hardwood floors throughout, bay windows, and abundant natural light create a warm and welcoming ambiance. Historic details including leaded glass, crown molding, and vintage hardware have been beautifully preserved, offering a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. Built-in cabinetry and abundant closets add architectural interest and function. The home has a natural flow and feels spacious with distinctive spaces for dining, socializing, and relaxing. The main floor features a private, enclosed office alongside inviting living spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite and an additional bedroom both feature a cathedral ceiling; 3 spacious bedrooms plus an additional full bathroom round out the second floor. An opportunity for a 4th bedroom exists in the partially finished basement which also has a bathroom and shower. Additional highlights include a newer AC and furnace (2021), almost all windows have been replaced, and significant roof updates completed alongside the home's renovations. The property has been meticulously maintained, allowing its next owner to move in with confidence and enjoy a home free from deferred maintenance.
