4 Bedroom House in Ames

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.

Summary: Was not aware that there was a tenant living in the basement of the property- We did not see them but at night was loud til after midnight with TV noise. Noise was right above bedroom and made it hard to sleep. Because we travel with our four children it made me uncomfortable knowing there was a tenant and i was on alert more when my kids went outside. Hot tub is not able to fit six adults - maybe 3. There is no seating in the hot tub - see picture. Dirty pots/pans in cupboard. Overall clean and accommodating, nice neighborhood close to many amenities. Ames is a beautiful small city and nice place to visit.
