You are going to fall in love with this amazing 4 bedroom, beautifully maintained Dutch Colonial 2-story in the heart of Ames. This gem perfectly mixes the original architectural charm with today's desired home amenities. Surrounded by mature trees, the curb appeal is awesome. Once inside you won't believe the beauty of the perfectly maintained hardwood floors. The living room features the original fireplace flanked by built-ins with glass fronts. An arched opening takes you to the formal dining room. To your right, you'll discover a cozy sun room with sliding door access to the back deck that wraps around two sides of the home. The dining room also leads to a large carpeted family/TV room and the kitchen. The spacious kitchen includes a large breakfast bar with a gas Jenn-air cooktop built into the Corian countertop. The counters are complimented with a beautiful tile backsplash. The kitchen includes 3 distinct areas. The breakfast bar and cook top, a corner nook with a built in microwave and double ovens, and the primary counter space with the sink.The cupboards are antiqued in off-white. The combination of all these elements results in a stunning kitchen! This level also includes a half bath and a laundry room. On the upper level you'll discover a huge carpeted master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. The master bath has been fully updated to include a tiled walk-in shower, a cherry wood vanity with double sinks and a tile floor. There are three more bedrooms, all with perfectly maintained hardwood floors. There's also another full bath on this level. While this bathroom has been updated with new fixtures, the owners have maintained the original black and white tile, which is a real conversation piece. The lower level is partially finished into a single recreation room. The back yard provides a great place to entertain friends and family. You'll love the large deck and patio as well as a large fenced back yard with mature trees and shrubs. There's also a double-deep two car wide detached garage. Homes in this popular neighborhood don't stay on the market very long, particularly when they're as nice as this one!
