Closer to Ames than you'd think... quieter than you'd expect. Welcome to 5524 N Dakota Ave- a fully remodeled walkout ranch in the Gilbert School District offering privacy, modern updates, and functional main-level living. Set on 0.64 acres just off Cameron School Road, this home backs to mature trees and has room to grow—including space at the back of the lot for an additional shed or outbuilding (pending city approval). Step inside to a bright, open-concept layout where large east-facing windows fill the home with natural light. The newly reconfigured main level features laundry, a full bath, and two spacious bedrooms- designed for everyday comfort and convenience. The kitchen stands out with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern finishes that flow seamlessly into the dining and living areas. The walkout lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a second living space, and a wet bar- perfect for entertaining or extended living. Outside, nearly everything is new: 2025 septic system, siding, roof, concrete patio, landscaping with fresh plantings, retaining walls, and a newly seeded lawn. The 2-car attached garage adds convenience, and there's potential for even more storage or workspace. Move-in ready, private, and full of possibilities- all within minutes of Ames and Gilbert, with paved roads the entire way.
