612 13th St, Ames, IA 50010

Have you found it to be a struggled to break into the housing market in Ames? This may be your golden opportunity! Fantastic central Ames location with a fenced yard and garage parking - start building equity rather than paying rent. The magic number (for this 2-BR home) is 3! Hang on, let us explain! The convenience of this 13th & Grand location is truely an asset - not hampered by traffic as this home has 3-way alley access; that's right THREE access points both in and out! 3-season porch to the rear of the home. Just 3-blocks short blocks to the McFarland Clinic! Parking concerns? How about an oversized THREE car garage! You heard that right - two bedrooms, yet a 3-car garage! Space for guests, hobbies, toys, a large open space to entertain or maybe even consider renting an extra garage space to pad your income. A portion of the basement had been finished, but after the basement took in water due to a failed sump pump the space was never refinished. A new sump pump with battery backup repalced the old - so don't overlook the opportunity for this added potential living area. The HV/AC was relplaced in 2011 and the water heater in 2022; original hardwood floors & doors throughout the main living spaces. Three's a charm(er)!
