Property Description

Come experience the best of both worlds with this spacious ranch home set on nearly an acre just outside of Ames, where open skies & peaceful surroundings create a daily backdrop that will never grow old. Tucked away from the busyness of everyday life, this property delivers privacy, serenity, & convenience. As you step inside the home, you'll immediately notice that the main level has been thoughtfully updated with beautiful hardwood floors, a cozy gas fireplace insert, & a newly added ¾ bath. 3 comfortable bedrooms on the main floor are complemented by 2 additional bedrooms in the lower level, offering flexible space for guests, home offices, or hobbies. The expansive family room downstairs extends your living space & is perfect for gatherings, movie nights, or just relaxing evenings at home. Car enthusiasts & hobbyists will appreciate the attached garage with a newly added second stall, along with an incredible detached two-car garage ideal for motorized toys, a workshop, woodworking, or creative projects of any kind. The screened-in porch is an absolute standout—your go-to spot to savor spring breezes, summer evenings, & crisp fall days while soaking in the surrounding countryside. Don't forget to look out the picture window in the living room before you leave and imagine the awe-inspiring private views. With countless updates completed since 2023 (be sure to request the full list), this home has been lovingly improved & meticulously maintained.
