What's special

Welcome to a stunning mid-century modern home in West Ames nestled back in mature trees creating a private setting on just under 1/2 an acre. This architectural home is full of natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows and hardwood floors that flow throughout, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere on the main level. As you enter the front door you will be greeted with the focal point of the home, the elegant 2 story gas fireplace. The kitchen and dining space overlook the deck and mature trees where you'll be entertained by groups of deer drinking from the stream below. A cozy family room, full bathroom, bedroom and mudroom with laundry off the 2 car garage are also located on the main level. Go up to the 1/2 story loft where you will enjoy the spacious primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, large walk in closet and dual vanity with a 3/4 shower. This loft area offers both privacy and the ability to open up the half story wall to view the living space below.
