Welcome Home to country living straight out of a magazine! Enjoy the country life on your very own 7+ acre private park like oasis! Centrally located acreage just 1 mile of gravel and only 15 minutes from Ames and 10 minutes from Boone in the United School District. This acreage has been lovingly cared for and updated over the years. You will fall in love with the character throughout this country craftsman home: beautiful natural woodwork, wood floors, and natural light. Enjoy your morning coffee on the enclosed wrap around porch watching the wildlife in your own private prairie with Iowa native plants. This 3 bedroom 2 bath 1695 SF home is a rare find with 1 bedroom and ¾ bath on the main floor. The upstairs living area includes 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a lookout deck and its own sitting room. Outside, opportunities abound with several outbuildings all well maintained including a detached 22x22 workshop/office space, chicken coop, machine shed, barn and a detached 24x28 2+ car garage with walk up loft/attic space built to compliment the original 1920's barn.
