Welcome to 719 Garden Road, a home that offers a rare blend of thoughtful updates, outdoor beauty, and a beautiful outdoor setting unlike anywhere else in Ames. Inside, this well maintained ranch style home features a comfortable and functional layout with two bedrooms on the main level, inviting living spaces, and a finished lower level that provides additional flexibility for everyday living, hosting guests, or creating a third bedroom.
