Step into a truly one-of-a-kind architectural gem in the highly sought-after Oakland Street neighborhood just west of Iowa State University. Built in 1940, this distinctive concrete contemporary home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an extraordinary blend of timeless design, artistic character, and modern updates that is rarely found in Ames.
The main level showcases a spacious living room highlighted by a dramatic domed ceiling, gas fireplace, and access to the balcony overlooking the private backyard. New luxury vinyl tile flooring flows throughout the main floor. The sunken dining room is a true showpiece, featuring cherry hardwood floors, custom built-in cabinetry and bar, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling wrought iron window that fills the space with natural light. The custom gourmet kitchen is equally impressive with cherry cabinetry, stainless steel countertops, tile backsplash, and appliances, a curved peninsula with built-in oven and range hood add to the uniqueness of the home. Two spacious bedrooms with large closets and a beautifully updated full bathroom featuring a custom tile shower complete the main floor, along with a convenient laundry closet.
The walkout lower level offers a large family room with a sealed wood-burning fireplace and direct access to the expansive outdoor living area. Two additional bedrooms feature new carpeting and share an updated Jack-and-Jill full bathroom. A laundry/mechanical room and separate storage room provide excellent functionality.
Outside, mature shade trees help keep this concrete home naturally cool during Iowa summers. The incredible outdoor space includes a huge paver patio with firepit, string lighting, custom-built outdoor TV cabinet, beautiful landscaping, fenced and manicured lawn, and a new garden shed installed in 2024. A portion of the patio is covered by the balcony above, creating the perfect space for entertaining. Be sure to admire the custom mural of a girl blowing bubbles artistically incorporated into the concrete wall of this area of the home.
Additional highlights include a new roof scheduled for installation, new water heater in 2025, HRV system, custom front door, generous off-street parking, and a one-year American Home Shield home warranty for added peace of mind. This remarkable property is truly unlike anything else on the market! Schedule your tour today to make this live-in piece of art your home!...
