Opportunities like this don't come along often! Tucked away among mature trees on 1.33 acres in North Ames and located in the highly desirable Gilbert School District, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath walkout home offers privacy, space and an incredible list of updates--all while keeping you close to everything Ames has to offer.
From the moment you arrive, it's easy to see just how much care has gone into this property. Meticulously maintained, extensively renovated and truly turn-key, this is a home where you can unpack, settle in and simply enjoy. Inside, loads of natural light fill the home, creating bright, welcoming spaces throughout.
The beautifully remodeled kitchen features new cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island offering additional prep space, storage and a natural gathering spot. Both bathrooms have also been beautifully renovated, while fresh paint, new flooring throughout, updated lighting and ceiling fans, new interior doors, brushed nickel hardware and new window coverings give the entire home a clean, cohesive feel.
The fully finished walkout lower level adds even more living space and features a cozy gas fireplace, making it the perfect spot for a family room, movie nights, entertaining or simply relaxing at the end of the day. Sliding glass doors provide natural light and easy access to the beautiful outdoor setting.
And the updates go far beyond cosmetics! Major improvements include a new roof (2023) with transferable warranty, new windows and sliding glass doors (2023), a new front door (2024), new garage door (2024), freshly painted exterior and a brand-new asphalt driveway (2026).
The HVAC system has been extensively serviced and upgraded by the homeowner, a licensed HVAC/R professional, and features three separate comfort zones with Honeywell smart thermostats. The insulated and sheet-rocked 2-car garage is heated with a new furnace, making it an ideal space for vehicles, projects, hobbies or additional storage throughout the year.
Then there's the setting--and it may just be your favorite part. Surrounded by mature trees with over an acre to enjoy, there is plenty of room to garden, a storage shed for all the extras and even an established grape arbor. Spend mornings or evenings relaxing on the deck, listening to the birds and watching the wildlife that regularly passes through the property.
It's peaceful, private and feels tucked away from it all, yet you're still conveniently located in North Ames. The previous owners have poured an incredible amount of care into making this home what it is today, and it shows at every turn. Turn-key, beautifully updated, surrounded by nature and ready for someone new to move in and love it just as much--this is an opportunity you won't want to miss!
