Mid-Century Warmth Meets Timeless Functionality in North-Central Ames Tucked away on a cul-de-sac in the heart of north-central Ames, this classic, custom-built mid- century modern home offers a rare blend of architectural integrity, natural warmth, and everyday comfort. Just minutes from parks, golf, shopping, and dining, the location is as convenient as it is peaceful. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by the rich texture of Tennessee Crab Orchard stone in the entryway—a fitting introduction to the style and quality that runs throughout the home. Thoughtfully crafted ash woodwork, paneling, and custom cabinetry infuse the space with a sense of natural coziness and warmth, true to mid-century modern ideals of bringing the outdoors in. A vaulted ceiling in the living room creates an airy openness, while a striking wood-burning fireplace with a stone façade anchors the space with quiet sophistication. Step from the dining room into a charming screened porch, where you can take in views of the timbered landscape, and watch wildlife in their natural setting. For larger gatherings, a spacious 9' x 34' deck extends your living space into the serene outdoors. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and includes all appliances, flowing seamlessly into an informal dining area—perfect for daily living. Also on the main level are two bedrooms, including the primary suite, and two beautifully remodeled three-quarter baths, each reflecting a tasteful blend of function and design. The walk-out lower level adds over 1,400 square feet of well-finished living space, including two additional bedrooms, a full updated bath, a family room with a second wood-burning fireplace, built-in cabinets / bookshelves, and wet bar, plus a large recreation room—ideal for entertaining, hobbies, or simply relaxing. An oversized 26' x 26' heated garage offers not only space for two vehicles but also overhead storage for all your extras. The home has been exceptionally maintained, with meaningful updates including a 50-year Malarkey roof, gutters, concrete driveway, skylights, lower-level sliding doors, and more. Welcome to a home that balances form and function, warmth and light, privacy and convenience. This is mid-century modern living at its most comfortable, surrounded by nature, yet just minutes from all that Ames has to offer. Any and offers will be reviewed or considered prior to 4 p.m. on August 5th.
