Beautiful and quiet home with old charm and modern amenities! Leave your car behind for a game at Jack Trice Stadium; meander to nearby restaurants or Iowa State University. There's a fenced yard and the doorbell has a security camera in the front of the house. Sleeps 8 comfortably. 4 rooms offer 3 queen beds, and 1 cozy room with a twin/trundle. There's a fully functional kitchen and screened porch. With all it's quirks and charms, you will love Serendipity House as much as I do! The space With approximately 1600 sq feet interior space and a spacious open back yard with trees for shade with plenty of room to run and play, the house has everything you will need! On the inside, the living room has 50 inch TV with Roku and a comfortable and stylish sofa with plenty of additional seating. The ottomans can double up as extra spots when needed. Seat your entire family around the dining room table. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutlery, crockery, pots, pans and bakeware and cooking utensils. In the bedrooms you'll find closets with storage space, hangers and suitcase racks, and comfortable queen and twin sized beds with memory foam mattresses. Additionally, there's shampoo, conditioner and body soap in both of the showers along with a towel, washcloth for each guest. Make-up cloths are also provided! The basement has a finished bonus room with another sofa and some games/puzzles for the whole family to enjoy. I offer games in the game room and minimize clutter to help make my space more family friendly. However, I don't offer a pack n' play and the house is not baby proofed, so supervision of younger ones will still be required. Plan for the season! I have a snow removal service that will take care snow after winter storms. Please allow up to 24 hours for them to complete the service. Additional snow removal and de-icing supplies are available in the garage, where you’ll find a shovel and ice-melt if you need it. In the summer months, yard service will come between 10am and 4pm weekly. They will need access to the yard and you can expect typical yard noise during this time. I offer the fastest internet available in Ames with an upgrade that guarantees no dead spots. Parking in the driveway has enough space for 2 or 3 cars, depending on size, which will come in handy for game days when parking can be difficult! Be sure to pay attention to parking signs if you are parking your car in the street as there is a 4 hour limit and the side of street changes daily. Ensure your car doesn't block the sidewalk as the City of Ames will ticket your car. For your convenience, there is a washer and dryer available in the unfinished portion of the basement. There's a fire pit in the back yard. Please use at your own risk. Please bring your own firewood and burn only wood in the ring. A fire extinguisher is located under the sink in the kitchen. I have monthly exterminator services. However, nature will be nature and can't always be 100% contained. If you notice anything, please be sure to let me know! If exterminator services are expected during your stay, you will be given about 24 hours advanced notice. Be sure all your valuables are cared for. A delay in these services voids my pest-free warranty, so they will need access to the house. There's an actively recording video and audio doorbell in the front of the house at the front entrance facing the street and driveway. This provides additional security and surveillance of the property. Guest access You'll have access to the whole house. Other things to note There's a fire pit in the back yard. Please use at your own risk. Please bring your own firewood and burn only wood in the ring. A fire extinguisher is located under the sink in the kitchen. Game room in the finished basement with games and a TV. Please be aware that a yard crew come through between 10am and 4pm and snow removal services are provided, as is additional ice removal supplies for self application to walkways if needed.
