    What's special

    Screened-in porchHigh-end modern finishesOpen floor planDaily nature viewsPrivate mother-in-law suiteWalkout lower levelPrimary suite
    Tucked onto more than 1.5 acres in town--with city sewer--this custom luxury home delivers something that's almost impossible to find in North Ames: true privacy, daily nature views, and the quiet that comes with not staring into a neighbor's backyard. It feels grounded and calm--like you're in the middle of nowhere--yet you're minutes from the grocery store, the mall, and the everyday conveniences that make this part of town so livable, plus quick access to Ada Hayden Lake and the trail system. Inside, high-end modern finishes pair with an open floor plan designed for both everyday comfort and easy hosting, anchored by a cook's kitchen that's as functional as it is beautiful. The primary suite is a standout, with screened-in porch that turns mornings and evenings into a ritual, and the walkout lower level expands the way the home can live--especially with a private mother-in-law suite that offers flexibility without sacrificing style. If you've been searching for space, views, and isolation at its finest--without giving up the advantages of living in town and the Gilbert school district--this is the kind of property that rarely comes available and tends to be undervalued until you stand on the porch and take it in. This is a one-of-a-kind property!
