About this home
Set within Ames' historic district just blocks from Main Street, this meticulously renovated home offers the rare combination of preserved character, meaningful updates, and modern functionality. Thoughtfully restored by its current owners, every space reflects an impressive level of care, investment, and attention to detail that is increasingly difficult to find in historic homes.
Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, solid core original doors, and a renovated kitchen that feels both timeless and practical. The home offers generous living space, abundant natural light, an elegant primary suite, a pantry, 2 laundry hookup options, and nicely sized bedrooms. The main level features 1 bedroom and a beautifully remodeled 3/4 bathroom with marble finishes and brushed nickel fixtures.
Upstairs includes 3 bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite with a luxurious bathroom featuring a walk-in tiled shower, dual vanities, soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet with built-in organization systems. The upper level also offers an additional full bathroom and a dedicated office/den space separate from the upstairs bedrooms.
The renovations extend far beyond cosmetics. Improvements include a brand-new front porch with composite decking, updated flooring, paint, fixtures, bathrooms, fresh blown-in insulation added in 2022, and thoughtfully restored original details throughout the home. Marble and tile finishes, a refreshed kitchen, quality updates, and preserved craftsmanship create a timeless feel while honoring the home's historic character.
A standout feature is the newly added 2-car garage paired with a newly added eco-friendly permeable paver driveway designed to assist with storm water drainage while enhancing the property's functionality and curb appeal.
Located just a short walk from coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and downtown Ames amenities, the walkability and lifestyle this property offers are exceptional. Finding a historic home with this level of renovation, preservation, square footage, a true primary suite, 3 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage is extraordinarily rare.
