Property Description
Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors in excellent condition complemented by refreshed interior paint and a stylishly remodeled kitchen featuring new cabinetry with soft-close drawers, updated hardware, and a full suite of new LG appliances--including an induction range and versatile all-in-one microwave, oven, and air fryer.
Designed for comfortable everyday living, the home includes remodeled bathrooms, new light fixtures, and convenient second-floor laundry. Major system updates provide peace of mind, including a new garage door, updated windows throughout, a gas furnace and air conditioning system replaced in 2022, electric water heater installed 2026, new gutter guards, and a hail-resistant roof installed in 2013.
Energy-conscious buyers will appreciate the upgraded 220-amp electrical service--ready for an EV charger--and an early participant in the City of Ames' Time of Use Meter program, offering access to lower electric rates during evenings and overnight hours. The current owners have also updated the thermostat to a programmable smart-home device.
The basement offers exceptional flexibility with a dedicated shop space currently configured as a woodshop complete with workbenches, built-in shelving, and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy a manageable, low-maintenance yet manicured yard that lets you spend more time enjoying the neighborhood.
