    What's special

    Location, location, location. Set on a quiet, tree lined street just 0.7 miles from the west side of Iowa State University campus and convenient to all of Ames, this 4 bedroom will appeal to many - first home buyers, growing families (nice backyard, large bedrooms), downsizing (2 bedrooms on main level, mature trees), or investors! Enjoy walking to campus, or just walking the dog, past million dollar homes right around the corner on Oakland Ave (2 houses down). Hy-Vee and a bus stop are just a half mile to the south. As you enter through the front door, hardwood floors greet you with the living room to the left, stairs to upper level straight ahead and bedroom to the right. In the living area, the beautiful fireplace catches the eye as does the connected dining area with bay window looking out to mature green trees (can't see house behind). This living room/dining area can also be accessed from the mudroom connecting the home to a deep one car garage. The dining area opens to the functional kitchen with farmhouse sink, ample two-tone cabinets, gas stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and closet pantry (not walk-in). The window over the farmhouse sink also looks out over the backyard. The hardwood floors continue throughout the home (excluding basement and bathrooms). An updated full bathroom is down a short hall from the kitchen/living room and next to the two main level bedrooms. These two bedrooms both have decent closet space and nice views from the windows (one front/one back). They could easily be used for home office as well. The back bedroom is slightly smaller than the front. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, each with an alcove featuring a window overlooking the backyard. Each of these bedrooms have step in closets and sloped ceilings. A full bathroom sits between the upper level bathrooms and has a window overlooking the backyard. Basement currently has 2 rooms (no doors) with modest finish including drop ceiling and floor tiles that are being used for fitness and pool table. There is also an unfinished space used for storage, utilities and washer/drier hookups. Roof and Leafguard gutters are about 5 years old. Furnace was replaced in 2021. Priced below Zillow estimate for quick sale and to allow buyer to apply fresh paint in color of their choice. Willing to leave pool table and sectional couch if buyer desires.
