This is truly an amazing home. Beginning outdoors, if you like tight-knit, friendly neighborhoods you'll absolutely adore living here. Neighbors get together for holidays, tailgating, and just for fun and you'll receive more holiday goodies from the neighbors than you'll know what to do with. The backyard is fenced and features mature fruit trees (2 apple, 1 cherry) plus annually producing raspberry bushes. A dedicated garden plot is set up and ready for spring planting. This may make some people happy, but those those are aren't into gardening, they can sit and relax is the permanent not-a-treehouse treehouse. If you are bored in this backyard, that's on you. The first thing you'll notice as you walk in to the home are the open, clean spaces. A recent kitchen remodel brings a real elegance to this home The truly large center island is big enough to make and decorate a LOT of cut-out cookies all at the same time. And the natural light streaming in will keep the mood light and cheery. Counter space isn't the only luxury this kitchen has. The cupboard space is crazy good! Three eating spaces (nook, bar, table area) mean you can feed the masses in comfort or just pick the space that fits your current mood. Two living spaces too. So spread out and enjoy it all. The Primary bedroom has a grand, double deep tiled shower that you are sure to fall in love with. And the primary bedroom features 2 closets (one walk-in and one standard). The laundry is right outside the main floor bedroom doors so cleaning day is a breeze. The lower level has walk-out access, a theater room, 2 more bedrooms, another full bath, and sooo much open space that you night have to get creative to even use it all. On top of all that, there is an unfinished area on the 2nd level that can be anything you can dream up since it is already stubbed in for a bathroom and has electricity running to it. Or, just enjoy all the amazing storage if that's more your thing. Either way, it's amazing BONUS space. Think it's too good to be true, well there's more. The location is well situated in West Ames to provide easy access to Hwy 30 and great route to Ontario/13th in Ames so everything and everywhere is quickly reachable. The neighborhood is very walkable (including the route to Sawyer Elementary school) and Emma McCarthy Lee Park is just a hop and skip away. You may have just found ''the dream home!'' Take a peek and see for yourself.
