About this home

Welcome to this charming home in the heart of Ames! Conveniently located near Iowa State University, Ames High School, and historic downtown Ames, this home offers both character and modern updates. Inside, you'll find a bright sunroom just off the primary bedroom, along with a versatile main-level office or pantry. The kitchen and bathroom were completely remodeled in early 2022, including the removal of a dividing wall to create a more open layout with a functional center island. During the renovation, the main-level plaster walls and bathroom walls were replaced with drywall, and new insulation was added for improved comfort and efficiency. Outside, you'll find a freshly painted exterior! Enjoy relaxing or entertaining on the spacious covered front porch, or gather around the fire pit in the large backyard. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a home close to campus, or simply want to enjoy all that Ames has to offer, this move-in-ready property is one you won't want to miss!

About Brook

Side

Brook Side, located between Brookside Park and the Iowa State University campus edge, is a residential and park-adjacent Ames neighborhood with mature tree canopy and creekside green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 6th Street and Duff Avenue, where small storefronts, casual eateries, and everyday errands set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Sidewalk-lined blocks feature mid-century ranches and compact bungalows with tidy setbacks and deep shade. Brookside Park’s trails and open lawns shape daily routines, while nearby campus energy adds a subtle hum. Ames Public Library and the Octagon Center for the Arts anchor cultural time beyond the block. Reiman Gardens adds a curated landscape counterpoint to the area’s informal greenery.
