Agent Description

Stylish, spacious, and full of extras - this 1-level stunner is more than just a home... it's a lifestyle upgrade! Built in 2019 and recently enhanced with a new roof, AC, and newer furnace, this home is move-in ready with room to grow. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, offering a cozy spot to enjoy morning coffee or greet guests in style!

The open-concept layout is perfect for entertaining, with a bright and airy kitchen, a walk-in pantry, and seamless flow into the dining and living spaces. Cozy up by the electric fireplace, complete with a statement mantel ready for your seasonal flair.

The primary suite is a true retreat with built-ins, deeper closets, and thoughtful storage throughout the home. Head outside to your backyard oasis-featuring a pergola-covered deck, a professionally poured 6-inch thick concrete patio (hello hot tub or outdoor lounge potential!), and a fully fenced yard with a double gate for easy access.

But wait-there's more! The oversized, insulated 3-car garage is a dream for hobbyists or anyone needing extra space, now complete with heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. With over 3.5 feet of foam insulation, a dedicated 100-amp panel, and bonus parking for an RV, trailer, or extra vehicle, this garage checks every box.

Downstairs, the daylight basement includes an egress window and is already stubbed for a bathroom-offering a blank canvas for future living space, home gym, or guest suite. All this is tucked into the sought-after Author Streets neighborhood, just minutes from Edwards Elementary, Ames Middle School, ISU, Hwy 30, and I-35. Modern conveniences, smart storage, and quality craftsmanship-inside and out. This is one you don't want to miss! Call today to schedule your private tour!
