Listing Description

This inviting four-bedroom, two-bath home offers an updated kitchen, spacious primary suite, covered patio, fenced backyard and heated attached garage, all tucked into a mature, established Ames neighborhood. The updated kitchen feels bright and fresh with new cabinetry, new countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring and a new dishwasher.

A large new window fills the room with natural light and opens from both sides to let in the breeze. Just beyond the kitchen is a dining room, where a door leads directly to the covered patio and fenced backyard--an inviting setup for meals outside, entertaining or simply relaxing at the end of the day.

Three bedrooms, a full bathroom and a welcoming living room provide plenty of space for everyday life. The primary suite is set apart from the home's other three bedrooms, creating a comfortable space of its own. Just down the hall is a second bathroom featuring a zero-entry shower, along with generous closet storage.

Outside, mature trees add shade and character to the fenced backyard, with plenty of lawn for gardening, play or gathering with friends. The covered patio offers a comfortable place to enjoy the outdoors, while two storage sheds provide extra room for lawn and garden equipment.

The location makes this home even easier to love. An elementary school and CyRide bus stops are just one block away, with Inis Grove Park, River Valley Park and Homewood Golf Course only a few blocks from home. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an updated kitchen, primary suite, fenced backyard, covered patio and attached garage, 1714 Douglas combines space, comfort and a convenient Ames location in a home that's ready to welcome its next owner.
