About This Home

As of February 2025

Charming and full of character, this 1930s 1-story bungalow is ideally situated within walking distance of downtown Ames. Offering 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a 1.5-car detached garage, this home is a perfect blend of classic appeal and modern updates. The exterior shines with fresh paint (2024), new wood Pella windows (2022), and beautiful perennial landscaping. Enjoy the spacious fenced-in backyard, paver patio, and oversized garage—ideal for storage or hobbies. A new front half of the driveway and exterior doors (2022) add even more curb appeal.

Step inside to a cozy living room featuring a gas fireplace, perfect for Iowa winters. The home office is neatly framed by elegant French doors.
A large dining room is perfect for entertaining. The galley kitchen boasts a built-in breakfast nook and a new refrigerator (2023). Hardwood floors, new ceiling fans, and updated window treatments enhance the two spacious bedrooms. The full bathroom has been tastefully updated, while built-in hallway linen storage adds charm and functionality.

The lower level offers ample potential with freshly painted surfaces, an included washer and dryer, large unfinished family and recreation rooms, and great storage. A new electric water heater and electric hybrid furnace/heat pump (2022) ensure efficiency. Plus, a large unfinished attic presents future expansion possibilities. A radon mitigation system (2021) and a 1-year AHS home warranty provide peace of mind. As an added benefit, the home also comes with 16 'powerpacks' or shares with the Ames SunSmart Community Solar Project (check with the City of Ames for more details on this program). This bungalow is ready to welcome you home!
