1105 Garfield Avenue, Ames, IA 50014

You know what's hard to find in Ames? Nearly an acre of land right in town! That's what makes 1105 Garfield Avenue so special. This charming 1 1/2-story home has personality, starting with a bright, sunny enclosed front porch that begs for a cup of coffee and a slow morning.

Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwoods, tile, and a warm, open kitchen that feels like the heart of the home. There's a main-floor primary suite tucked away at the back of the house, while upstairs offers a great getaway with two bedrooms and a 3/4 bath.

Downstairs, there's plenty of storage, a partially finished room ready to become your workout space or home office, and another 3/4 bath. A detached two-car garage sits conveniently close to the house, and the big-ticket updates are already taken care of with a brand-new roof and 2023 HVAC.

Fresh exterior paint and landscaping work add even more to love. But let's talk about that backyard! Imagine tossing a football with friends, planting a huge garden, adding a pool, creating your own private garden oasis, or simply enjoying all that open space without ever leaving town. It's a rare combination of character, practical updates, and room to spread out that you just don't come across every day in Ames.
