Property Description
The transformation begins outside with a new front deck and canopy. New exterior lighting adds both charm and function, welcoming you home as the day winds down.
Inside has been remarkably renovated and the difference is unmistakable. The former galley kitchen has been opened to the main living space, creating a bright, connected floor plan that feels spacious and effortless. The kitchen itself has been completely renewed with new cabinetry, countertops, sink, garbage disposal, appliances, waterproof laminate flooring, and thoughtfully added motion-sensor lighting. It is a space designed not only for cooking, but for gathering, visiting, and making everyday moments feel a little more special.
Original hardwood floors on the main level have been sanded and restored, bringing warmth and character back into the home. Upstairs, new carpeting creates a soft, comfortable feel throughout the stairs and second floor. The expanded bathroom has been completely refreshed with a new tub/shower combination, vanity, toilet, waterproof flooring, exhaust fan, and mirror. A new closet has also been created in the second bedroom, adding valuable storage and functionality.
The attention to detail continues throughout the home with new lighting and ceiling fans on both the main and second levels, fresh interior paint, and all-new plumbing. The basement has been thoughtfully improved as well, including a new wash sink and vanity, a finished division between the utility area and open basement space, and a newly sealed and enclosed shower with FRP panels and new floor baseboard. Even the attic access has been thoughtfully relocated with a new hallway hatch, creating a more functional use of the home's spaces.
With approximately 0.26 acres, this is a remarkably generous lot for the area, offering a rare sense of outdoor space and breathing room in an established Ames neighborhood. The backyard invites possibilities--room to garden, entertain, play, relax, or simply enjoy having space around you.
Everywhere you look, the improvements at 817 Crawford reflect a commitment to making the home more beautiful, functional, comfortable, and inviting. With its completely remodeled interior, restored original hardwood, open-concept living, refreshed kitchen and bath, improved basement, new exterior spaces, and unusually spacious backyard, this is a home that is ready for its next chapter.
Beautifully remodeled. Thoughtfully designed. Exceptionally inviting. And wonderfully situated in Ames.
