## Description

### Agent Description
Mid-Century Modern Charm in a Convenient Central Ames Location! This well-maintained, one-owner 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home offers timeless style and everyday comfort. Beautiful hardwood floors (preserved under carpet in many rooms) add warmth and character throughout, while the classic mid-century modern design creates an inviting place to call home. The functional floor plan provides easy one-level living with spacious, light-filled living areas. The basement offers a large laundry room with ample storage, 2nd bathroom, a large living area and additional storage. There is also a 4th, non-conforming bedroom that would make a great office or flex room. Step outside to a huge yard shaded by mature trees, offering plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing. An oversized one-car garage provides ample space for parking, storage, or hobbies. Updated mechanicals, roof, and siding. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, parks, and schools, this home combines classic charm with an ideal central location and is ready to make it your own. Home is being sold As-Is. SELLER WILL REVIEW ALL OFFERS ON JULY 2ND AT 6PM.
