Overlooking the course, this sheltered area provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the scenery in nearly any season. The main floor offers a wonderful flex room which can be used as a den/office; but would also make an incredible sunroom. The laundry room, adjoining half bath and space for built-in lockers/mudroom are conveniently located just inside the garage entrance.

Step outside and the setting becomes even more impressive. The backyard has been meticulously landscaped with gorgeous annuals and perennials, beautifully designed retaining walls/walking path, and a dedicated fire pit area that creates the perfect gathering spot for evenings outdoors. The expansive views and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces make this a truly special place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape. With a newer roof, exceptional indoor and outdoor living spaces, and a sought-after location in the wonderful Story City community, this home offers so much more than square footage. Enjoy easy access to schools, parks, the community pool, recreation, and I-35--all while coming home to a peaceful setting with beautiful golf-course views.
