Welcome to this light-filled ranch home offering 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage. Perfectly situated near Jack Trice Stadium, the Research Park, Ames Fitness Center, and with quick access to Highway 30, this home combines convenience with comfort. Inside, you'll find a kitchen designed for both style and function—featuring warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a pantry, and easy access to a wood deck just off the dining area. A main-floor laundry and mudroom off the garage provide the perfect drop zone for busy households. The lower level offers even more space to spread out, with a large rec room, an additional bedroom, generous storage, and the potential for a 5th bedroom thanks to an existing egress window. With a fenced yard and move-in ready condition, this home is ready for its next chapter. Come see it for yourself today!
Come see this open concept ranch located in Ringgenberg Park! A large master suite, kitchen island with granite countertops, and large finished basement family room, and 3-car garage make this ideal for all kinds of families. An egress window in the basement storage makes it easy to add a 5th bedroom. Great location close to Jack Trice stadium, the Research Park, Ames Racquet & Fitness, and easy access to Highway 30. Come take a look this weekend. This is a great opportunity!
