2304 Van Buren Ave, Ames, IA 50010

There is something timeless about 2304 Van Buren Ave. Maybe it's the traditional floor plan with both formal and informal living rooms, the charming laundry chute that makes you smile, or the large front porch perfect for a pair of rocking chairs. Perhaps it's the unbeatable location- just a short walk to Fellows Elementary and Ames High School. Whatever it is, this 1,800+ sq ft two-story offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and peace of mind. The home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an attached 2-car garage, and a partially finished basement. But the appeal goes far beyond the specs. From the curb, you'll notice the fresh brick paint, abundant landscaping, and cheerful window boxes. Step inside and the main level greets you with two inviting living spaces, one anchored by a wood burning fireplace with built-ins. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with custom slow-close cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, and a sink window overlooking your private backyard- ideal for watching birds, kids at play, or your flowers in bloom. Upstairs, all 4 bedrooms are conveniently located together, including the primary suite with an attached ¾ bath. A full bath serves the remaining three generously sized bedrooms. Downstairs, the basement is spotless, offering a semi-finished living area, a freshly painted utility room, and the washer and dryer that stay with the home. Outside, the backyard feels surprisingly private, framed by mature trees and landscaping, with a back patio and partial fencing. Even the attached garage has been freshly painted and provides additional storage. All of this is capped off by a brand-new roof for lasting peace of mind.
