## Description

### Agent Description
A well-designed two-story home in the Northridge Heights subdivision, offering 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and over 3,300 square feet of finished living space. Located within the Gilbert School District, this property combines a functional layout, abundant natural light, and everyday comfort in a highly desirable setting. The main level features a sunlight-filled breakfast and dining area, along with a cozy living room and a spacious family room that flows seamlessly from the kitchen, creating a bright and welcoming environment ideal for both daily living and entertaining. The open kitchen serves as the central hub of the home, offering excellent connectivity and complemented by a conveniently located main-floor laundry. The upper level is thoughtfully arranged with all four bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with a private bath, as well as a versatile loft/office space--ideal for working from home, studying, or additional lounge use. Three additional bedrooms are supported by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and an additional full bath, providing a practical layout that enhances daily convenience. The finished basement adds valuable flexibility, featuring a clean, open layout enhanced by recent updates. Complete with a 3/4 bath and bar area, it is well suited for recreation, fitness, or additional living space. With approximately 2,433 square feet above grade and over 3,300 square feet of total finished area, this home offers both space and versatility. Recent improvements support long-term comfort and reliability, including updated mechanical systems and interior enhancements designed for durability and ease of maintenance. Move-in ready and well maintained, this property presents a compelling opportunity within one of Ames' established neighborhoods.
