Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac in Ames' highly sought after Northridge neighborhood, this two-story 6 bed 4 bath home offers over 4,100 finished square feet designed for comfortable everyday living. New roof + siding after the derecho. A tall, welcoming foyer with a statement staircase sets the tone upon entry. The main level features a dedicated office, formal dining room, a sitting room that serves as a second living space, and a kitchen with an informal dining area that opens to the main living room. The living room is anchored by a redone floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace with built ins, and a convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, all five bedrooms are thoughtfully located on one level, including a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceilings. The primary ensuite offers a soaker tub, tiled shower, private water closet, and a large walk in closet. The upstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience without the need to move between floors. The finished daylight basement provides additional living room space, a bedroom currently used as a large home gym, along with a full bath. Recent cosmetic updates include refreshed bathrooms, new flooring, newer paint, and a new deck. A spacious yard and an oversized 3+ car garage with extra storage round out the home. With its size, layout, updates, and prime Northridge location, this home offers space, functionality, and long term livability in one of Ames' most desirable neighborhoods.
