Property Description
Built with exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality materials, many thoughtful updates include: a beautifully remodeled kitchen (2009), remodeled bathrooms (2009 & 2021), newer windows, and solid wood interior doors. The classic finishes create an elegant yet comfortable feel to the home and will never go out of style.
There are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a partially finished basement providing flexible living space for family, guests, hobbies, recreation along with plenty of storage. Outdoor living is equally impressive with exquisite landscaping, a spacious screened porch, and a large composite deck, all in excellent condition and perfectly positioned to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Garden enthusiasts will also love the established vegetable gardens, thoughtfully protected from the abundant deer and wildlife that accompany the property. A dedicated garden storage area with its own overhead garage door provides convenient space for a riding lawn mower, gardening tools, and seasonal equipment allowing the main garage to stay organized and uncluttered.
Designed with sustainability and long-term efficiency in mind, the home features solar power, geothermal heating and cooling, a private well and septic system offering exceptional energy efficiency and protects against rising utility costs. The house is almost exclusively powered by electricity except the dryer and the fireplace in the basement. The owner's total energy bills over the last year have ranged from a minimum of $14.93/month to a maximum of $236/month (during the coldest month of the year) and this also includes powering the couple's electric vehicle! Alliant Energy credits the homeowner a kilowatt of power for every kilowatt of unconsumed energy generated by the solar panels. With these utility advantages and lower taxes, it's a 100% win!
Many improvements provide peace of mind including a new roof (2023), asphalt driveway with an RV parking pad (2021), active radon mitigation system, newer Culligan water filter & softener (2017), and an insulated and drywalled garage (2017) with Sealwise floor coating (2021). The home will transfer with the SimpliSafe app-driven alarm system (2023) which consists of sensors on all external doors, smoke & carbon monoxide detectors, and a water sensor on the sump pump. This system can be used exclusively by the app and a cell phone or professionally monitored for a fee.
Offering timeless quality, modern efficiency & sustainability in a truly remarkable setting, 2706 Meadow Glen Road is a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of country living with the convenience of Ames just minutes away. Call your realtor and make a showing appointment today!
