Welcome home to this spacious ranch situated on a half-acre lot in a convenient Ames location! The oversized driveway provides plenty of parking, while the mature trees create a beautiful, shaded setting you'll enjoy all year long. Outdoor living shines here with a large front deck that's perfect for morning coffee, a fully fenced backyard featuring a brick patio with bistro lights, fire pit, charming chicken coop (or garden shed), and a lilac hedge that adds both privacy and character. The kitchen is designed for everyday living with quartz countertops, abundant prep space, and a gas range for the home chef. The seller is also offering a $1,000 credit so buyers can choose the refrigerator that best fits their style. The main floor also includes three bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full bathroom. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a spacious second family room, two nonconforming bedrooms, a large bathroom with a shower, and a generous storage/mechanical room where the washer and dryer will remain. Enjoy long showers with a tankless water heater and peace of mind with a radon mitigation system already in place. With five total bedrooms (including two nonconforming), there's room for everyone to spread out both inside and out. Located in the Kate Mitchell Elementary School district with quick access to Duff Avenue, Highway 30, shopping, restaurants, and Iowa State University, this home combines space, convenience, and value.
