The best of both worlds! Take a look at the quality craftsmanship & modern amenities of this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in the Ames Old Town Historic District! It's not often you find main floor living in a home like this with a bedroom, 3/4 bathroom & laundry all on the main level. Situated between Bandshell Park & the city's new Schainker Plaza, this beautiful home is a short distance to all of what Downtown Ames has to offer. Nature abounds with fruit trees, garden areas, a Japanese Maple & Pine, blackberries & rhubarb as you approach the darling front porch with plenty of space to enjoy it. Stepping inside you are surrounded by old world charm as you enter the spacious living room with plenty of natural light. Gorgeous hardwood floors & trim & original pocket doors lead you through to the large formal dining room where you can either enter into the main floor bedroom or you can step the modern kitchen complete with an exhaust hood. Just off of the kitchen you have both a 3/4 bath with a walk-in tile shower as well as the convenient laundry room. Upstairs you have 2 huge bedrooms, a full bathroom & another bedroom that isn't too small. The basement is clean & dry with another 3/4 bath with a clawfoot soaking tub & plenty of storage space. A fenced yard, an oversized 2 car garage, a furnace & air conditioner that are only 2 years old, & a location with amenities like this are hard to pass up! Schedule your showing today!
