Property Description

Charming, well-maintained 2-bed ranch tucked into a quiet, established North Ames neighborhood. Affectionately called “The Nest” by its longtime owners, this home has been thoughtfully updated and cared for, with comfortable living spaces and beautiful features that just say "welcome home" upon entry. The main level offers a bright living room, functional kitchen and 2 bedrooms, including primary with direct access to the back patio. The finished basement provides a large 2nd living space with plenty of room for movie/game nights, a home office or homeschool setup, or room to convert to an additional non-conforming bedroom. You'll also find a beautifully updated and spacious laundry area, (including a laundry chute) and ample dedicated storage. Mature trees and established landscaping, professionally designed, give the home a tucked-away, private feel, while the enclosed backyard and patio offer a private space for pets, gardening or relaxing. The extended garage/storage area is an added bonus for anyone needing space for hobbies, woodworking, outdoor equipment or recreational gear. Located away from campus-centric Ames but convenient access to groceries, fitness, medical care & amenities, this place is perfect for anyone looking to establish or plant deeper roots. Its quiet, community-centric neighborhood also offers easy access to Ada Hayden, McFarland Park, Peterson Park and the Skunk River Greenbelt to enjoy the beautiful green space the town has to offer.
