Timeless Charm Meets Modern Comfort in North Ames. Step into this beautifully maintained 1962 brick ranch in the heart of North Ames, where classic craftsmanship and thoughtful updates create a home that truly has it all. Set on a generous 80x100 lot in the established Crestwood neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1-story gem offers 1,027 square feet of main-floor living plus a full basement -- freshly painted and ready to enjoy as a highly functional bonus living and workspace. The heart of the home shines in the updated kitchen, featuring a gas range with griddle top, brand-new refrigerator, and new dishwasher -- everything a home chef could want. The main floor bathroom has been transformed into a personal retreat, complete with a spa-like walk-in shower, heated floors, and a heated towel rack that makes every morning feel indulgent. Outside is where this property truly becomes something extraordinary. Wisteria cascades across the pergola above the paved patio, creating a canopy of natural beauty. Stroll the floral walking path as two bubbling fountains provide the soundtrack to your own private sanctuary -- a breathtaking in-town escape that took years of devoted gardening to cultivate. A dedicated yard shed keeps all your tools and gardening supplies perfectly organized and close at hand. An attached brick garage and central air complete the package. Properties with this much soul, style, and outdoor magic don't come along often. Welcome home.
