Property Description

Some homes just make everyday life easier, and this one in northwest Ames does it well. Set in Bloomington Heights within the Gilbert Community School District, this 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom two-story has been cared for with real intention. The main level welcomes you with a vaulted living room and a wood-burning fireplace waiting for its first cozy night of the season. The kitchen was refreshed in 2025 with new countertops and sink, with appliances updated in 2021. Upstairs, all three bedrooms sit together, including a huge primary suite with a walk-in closet you will actually have room to use. Laundry is right there on the same floor, so no more hauling baskets up and down the stairs. The finished basement adds a second living area, a 3/4 bath, and a 4th bedroom with egress, giving everyone room to spread out. Then step outside to a backyard that is easy to love. A new composite deck (2024) overlooks a clean, freshly landscaped yard that is fully fenced, with a big concrete slab ready for a basketball hoop and a shed for all the outdoor gear. HardiePlank siding and a 2017 HVAC system mean the big-ticket items are handled, and the epoxy-coated 2-car attached garage is a nice finishing touch. Minutes to Iowa State University, shopping, and quick routes across town. With the updates finished and Gilbert schools in place, this one is ready for its next chapter.
