Property Description
Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, solid core original doors, and a renovated kitchen that feels both timeless and practical. The home offers generous living space, abundant natural light, an elegant primary suite, a pantry, 2 laundry hookup options, and nicely sized bedrooms. The main level features 1 bedroom and a beautifully remodeled 3/4 bathroom with marble finishes and brushed nickel fixtures.
Upstairs includes 3 bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite with a luxurious bathroom featuring a walk-in tiled shower, dual vanities, soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet with built-in organization systems. The upper level also offers an additional full bathroom and a dedicated office/den space separate from the upstairs bedrooms.
The renovations extend far beyond cosmetics. Improvements include a brand-new front porch with composite decking, updated flooring, paint, fixtures, bathrooms, fresh blown-in insulation added in 2022, and thoughtfully restored original details throughout the home. Marble and tile finishes, a refreshed kitchen, quality updates, and preserved craftsmanship create a timeless feel while honoring the home's historic character.
A standout feature is the newly added 2-car garage paired with a newly added eco-friendly permeable paver driveway designed to assist with storm water drainage while enhancing the property's functionality and curb appeal.
Located just a short walk from coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and downtown Ames amenities, the walkability and lifestyle this property offers are exceptional. Finding a historic home with this level of renovation, preservation, square footage, a true primary suite, 3 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage is extraordinarily rare.
