## Description

### Agent Description
Rare opportunity in Maxwell! This 3,588 SF post-frame metal building sits on a 0.35-acre lot and suits contractors, trades, equipment storage or a small shop. The original 2,450 SF building was expanded in 2008 with a 1,138 SF addition. There are two 16 ft wide x 12 ft high power overhead doors and a 14 ft sidewall height, so trucks, trailers and equipment fit easily. A metal liner runs throughout, and suspended gas heat keeps the space usable year-round. About 250 SF of heated office space, a toilet room and a service sink make it work as a daily base of operations, not just storage. Outside, there's 1,120 SF of concrete parking. South Story County location with easy reach of Ames, Ankeny and the Des Moines metro. Call today for a showing.
