## Description

### Agent Description
Step into the timeless character and charm of this classic home nestled in one of Ames' historic neighborhoods with over 2600 sq ft of finished space. From the distinctive cedar shake siding to the beautiful fireplace, this home is filled with unique details that give it a personality all its own. The spacious den is a true standout, featuring a cozy wood-burning stove and an abundance of built-in bookcases. The eat-in kitchen offers everyday functionality, while the spacious dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining. A screened porch extends the living space and creates a peaceful spot to enjoy the seasons, with a patio offering additional outdoor space. A garage adds convenience, but it's the character, warmth, and architectural details throughout that make this home truly special. A rare opportunity to own a home with genuine historic charm and a story to tell.
