Welcome to this meticulously maintained and beautifully updated home in NE Ames, just steps away from Homewood Golf Course. Tucked into a park-like setting, the stunning landscaping creates a private retreat filled with hydrangeas, peonies, cone flowers, ferns, rose bushes, ornamental shrubs, and a beautiful redbud maple that bursts with shades of red, orange, and yellow throughout the seasons. Enjoy the view from two composite decks at the rear of the home, where the gorgeous landscaping creates a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee, evening dinners, or simply unwinding outdoors. The fully fenced backyard with black aluminum fencing also features a firepit area, perfect for gathering with family and friends under the stars.
