A hidden gem: mid-century modern retreat just minutes from Ames! This tucked-away, thoughtfully updated country estate blends original character with modern comfort on over 3.5 wooded acres overlooking Ioway Creek. Warm woodwork, preserved retro details, and intentional room-to-room flow create inviting spaces for both quiet everyday living and effortless entertaining. Indoor-outdoor living shines with multiple walkouts to the deck, patio, garden, and a screened-in porch tucked among the trees, while a unique primary retreat with remodeled 3/4 bath, sauna, and cedar sunroom/exercise room lives like a private wellness wing. Recent updates include a great room renovation (2026), primary bath remodel (2026), tapered roof system (2025), garage addition and enclosed screened porch (2024), ne wer water heater and dishwasher (2021), and significant 2016 improvements to HVAC, siding, most windows, flooring, and carpeting—offering peace of mind alongside the home’s timeless design.
