Solidly built brick ranch offering a functional layout, an absolutely gorgeous backyard and FOUR garage stalls! The main floor offers 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and main floor laundry. Entertain outdoors with the large backyard, pergola-covered deck, and mature landscaping! The standout feature is the oversized 2-car detached garage, offering plenty of room for vehicles, tools, a workshop, or recreational equipment. The full basement expands the living space with a spacious rec room, a non-conforming bedroom, a nook perfect for working from home or hobbies, a full bath, and additional storage. Major mechanical updates are complete: a new roof, gutters, and leaf guards on both the house and shed (2024); a new furnace and central air (2024), and a battery backup sump pump (2024). With a full brick exterior and great bones, this home is a blank slate ready for your personal style and finishing touches - only cosmetic updates are needed. Also, enjoy everything Nevada has to offer—from its welcoming small-town atmosphere, community parks and recreation, and vibrant local events to the convenience of being just minutes from Ames, Iowa State University, and easy access to Highway 30. This is the perfect opportunity to make a well-maintained home your own with just cosmetic touches!
