    What's special

    Iconic streetThoughtfully laid-out living spaceBrand new carpetBeautiful hardwood floorsUnbeatable locationFully fenced backyardStainless steel appliances
    Welcome to 425 Beach Ave — where game day energy, campus charm, and long-term value collide. Owning a home on Beach Avenue is something many have dreamed of—and for good reason. This iconic street is one of the most coveted in Ames, known for its unbeatable location just behind Hilton Coliseum, Jack Trice Stadium, and directly across from the Iowa State Alumni Center. Now, with the highly anticipated CyTown development going up right across the street, this is a rare opportunity to own a front-row seat to everything happening in Cyclone country. Whether you're walking to class, catching a game, or soaking in the buzz of campus life, this is the kind of property people can't wait to get their hands on. Inside, you'll find over 1,300 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out living space, with nearly 1,000 more downstairs ready to finish. The main level features beautiful hardwood floors, arched doorways, a spacious living area, and two comfortable bedrooms. Upstairs, a large third bedroom with brand new carpet offers versatility and space to spread out. The kitchen includes newly painted cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of charm. A fully fenced backyard provides privacy for low-key evenings or lively tailgates, while the driveway and detached 1-car garage make parking easy. Whether you're looking for a smart investment, a future rental, or simply want to be at the heart of it all—this is the kind of listing that doesn't come around often. Property sold AS-IS.
