There's a reason 1960s ranch homes continue to be so sought after - practical layouts, solid construction, and spaces that simply make sense. This 1968 ranch in the Ontario Heights/University Heights area of Ames brings that classic appeal together with thoughtful updates, approximately 1,400 finished square feet, and a home that has been well cared for. The main floor offers a light-filled living room and eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops, beautiful backsplash, great storage, and a sink overlooking the fenced backyard. A breakfast bar adds prep and gathering space--and the sellers may be willing to part with it for the right buyer! Main-floor bedrooms feature hardwood floors, while the updated bathroom includes a large vanity, great lighting and stylish finishes. The finished basement adds living space with LVP flooring, recessed lighting, an electric fireplace, additional bedroom, ¾ bath, and sliding door. The backyard might just be a favorite part of the property. Fully fenced with a concrete patio, fire pit area, green space, and even a treehouse, there's room to entertain, play, garden, or enjoy being outside. Low-maintenance metal siding, attached garage, new and newer windows, a new Rheem A/C installed June 2024, and new roof in June 2023 add to the list. Enjoy close proximity to Sawyer Elementary, Munn Woods, parks, West Ames amenities, and ISU - close to everything Ames has to offer while tucked away from the hustle and bustle.
