Property Description

Home is being electronically staged...new pictures to come soon. Character and charm abound in this beautiful, well-preserved 1938 three-bedroom, three-bath story-and-a-half cottage-style home. It is nestled in the Heart of Story City, in a wonderful neighborhood on nearly 1/3 acre, just blocks from the Elementary and High School, the Downtown, the Library, the Story City Carousel and Park, the River Bend Golf Course, and more. Quality is found throughout this home, with solid doors, hardwood oak floors, newer wood windows, and so much more. The main floor includes a large, workable kitchen with casual dining, spacious cherry cabinetry, and a unique gas-heating stove. All appliances are included. You'll enjoy the formal dining room with a built-in cherry buffet, a pass-through window into the kitchen, and a large living room area. There is a nice front foyer with a large thick wooden front door with beautiful stained glass. The larger main-floor bedroom has wonderful cherry cabinetry built into the wall, and it is a very spacious room with hardwood floors. The full bath has tile flooring and updated fixtures, and the second bedroom on the main floor has a built-in desk. Windows throughout the home fill it with lots of natural light and energy.

Upstairs, you enter an open den area with built-in bookshelves, possibly a library with your favorite books, a 3/4 bath with a nicely tiled shower next to the third bedroom, and a small office or study room. The upper area is perfect for your student to have their own space. There is also lots of storage on this floor, with two closets and some attic space. The lower level features a rec room with more built-in cabinetry, a special dog room, a Laundry and 3/4 bath, and a storage and utility room. There is also a bonus storage room in the basement. This past summer, the home's and garage exterior were completely upgraded with maintenance-free thick insulated vinyl siding. The roofs had a complete tear-off, and new architecture-styled shingles, commercial gutters, and gutter toppers were installed. Nearly $65,000 was invested in this upgrade. The garage is a two-car tandem with workshop space in the front. A 220 amp dedicated service was just installed in the workshop.

The fully fenced-in private backyard is like a park setting is nice for your pets to enjoy the great outdoors. There is also a nice storage shed, a garden space, and a new chicken coop that come with chickens. Along the paver patio there is also a herb garden. This home has been loved and cared for by only 4 families and has had 3 owners during the past 86 years. Come and experience all of the charm this home brings. Call now to see this special home in the great small town of Story City, just 15 minutes north of Ames.
