This quaint, cozy home is located in a quiet family neighborhood in north Ames. It's tucked neatly behind another home, hidden from street view, creating a semi-secret hideaway. The two homes, together, form a duplex.
Conveniently situated within walking distance of Walmart, restaurants, and beautiful Ada Hayden Park, this property allows quick, easy access to well-traveled streets, while remaining tucked away off the beaten path for quiet and privacy.
Loaded with charm, this two-story home offers 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. It features a spacious living room with lots of natural light beaming through multiple large windows, ample kitchen storage, a full-sized high efficiency washer and dryer, bonus storage beneath the staircase, and luxury vinyl planking flooring throughout (except the staircase for better traction and increased safety!).
You also are invited to use the two furnished adjoining spaces! You may enjoy meals on the deck or your morning coffee in the three season porch, which also includes a mini gym with TV!
Additional amenities include central air, a dishwasher, garbage disposal, off-street parking, and additional storage in the back yard storage shed.
Your small dogs and cats are welcome! They will love the large fenced-in back yard where they can play and roam without pet parent worry! No pet deposit required! Just a $50 monthly pet rent per pet is added.
