126 Summit Dr, Story City, IA 50248

Property Description

Small town living with Ames just 15 minutes away. Start your mornings with coffee on the west facing front porch, and come back out in the evening for the sunset. With 2,586 finished square feet above ground plus 670 finished in the basement, this home has room for everyone. The living room is anchored by a 2 sided fireplace you can enjoy from both rooms. The main level offers 3 living areas, a formal dining room, a large kitchen with a pantry, a half bath, and access to the attached 2 car garage. At the back of the home, a huge bonus room with a 2nd fireplace opens to a patio and a backyard framed by retaining walls, with a cornfield behind you instead of back door neighbors. Upstairs you will find all 3 bedrooms, the laundry, and a loft that works well as a playroom, sitting area, or home office. The primary suite has a tiled walk in shower, a roomy bathroom, and 2 closets with plenty of space. The other 2 bedrooms are generously sized, including 1 oversized room, and share a full bath. Having laundry on the bedroom level means no more hauling baskets up and down the stairs. The finished basement adds a large family room, a full bathroom, and a non-conforming 4th bedroom that is great for guests, a gym, or hobby space. Story City is the kind of town people seek out on purpose. Grab a coffee at the local coffee shop, try one of the great restaurants, and get to know the local businesses that make downtown feel like home. Summer and fall bring fruit and produce stands and a nearby orchard, so eating local is easy. The Roland Story Community School District offers a smaller school setting, which is a big draw for many families. And when you need Ames for work, Iowa State, shopping, or a night out, it is an easy drive.
