    Tucked into the trees on a ½ acre lot on a quaint west Ames street you'll find 4915 Westbend Drive. This 3BR, 2.5 bath home boasts mid-century modern vibes both inside and out, yet features a new roof, recently restored Western Cedar siding, newer Anderson windows & doors, high energy efficiency HVAC, extensive trex decking and professional landscaping. Well renowned Ames architect William Dreyer designed this home in the mid-1970's and Bob Buck completed the construction. The expansive main floor features two family rooms with wood-burning fireplace/burners, vaulted ceilings and large windows which flood the home with light. The kitchen features stainless steel Bosch appliances and concrete breakfast bar of concrete with unique cedar inlay and a chess set. You'll also enjoy the additional bar adjacent to the kitchen, the perfect place for your coffee bar or special cocktails! The creativity in design is a rare find. Enjoy two 8 foot tall Anderson doors leading out the private backyard and expansive deck, complete with hot tub! Take the curved staircase to the lower level to find the primary suite and adjacent full bath with shower, large soaker tub and walk-in closet. Take note of the heated tile floors while you are in there! Two additional bedrooms complete the lower level.
