Tranquil Home in Beautiful Setting

Conveniently located within walking distance of Walmart, several restaurants, and beautiful Ada Hayden Park, it offers quick, easy access to well-traveled streets, while remaining tucked away off the beaten path for quiet and privacy.

The property is legally a duplex. This listing consists of the entire main level of the house plus a bonus bedroom, half bath, and laundry room in the lower level. The other "half" of the duplex is the remainder of the lower level, and has its own private entrance and full-time, wonderful, quiet tenant. You likely never would know anyone was there!

This space has been modernly decorated throughout, and includes a living room with seating for 9, a spacious kitchen with a dining table with seating for 8 and counter seating for 2, four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms.

Each bedroom comes equipped with a queen bed and TV. Three of the bedrooms are on the main level, and one is on the lower level.

This house sleeps 9:

Bedroom 1: Queen (x2)
Bedroom 2: Queen (x2)
Bedroom 3: Queen (x2)
Bedroom 4: Queen (x2)
Portable Mattress: (x1) Best for children

In the summer, you can fire up the grill and enjoy outdoor dining on the back deck, where you can relax and take in the peaceful and spacious .80 acre back yard with the beautiful woodsy view!

Our newest amenity is a stimulating sensation! Bring your bathing suit and plan to treat yourself to a soak in our outdoor 6-person inflatable hot tub! It is tucked in the hidden oasis of our back yard cabana, so it is ultra private and can be enjoyed year-round! Sink inside and let the jets heat and massage you as the bubbles float your worries away!

This house includes driveway parking for three cars. Street parking is available for overflow.

Football weekend
Traveled from Kansas for the KSU v ISU football game. It was a fantastic place to stay while up for the weekend. We tailgated in the warmth of the house instead of the freezing temperatures. Everything we could need to help out was there! They have thought of everything. Fantastic home and host. We would stay again if in Ames.
