Architecturally significant and truly one-of-a-kind, this 1954 mid-century modern, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired walk-out ranch was thoughtfully designed by noted architect Robert D. McConnel (partner with the same firm that designed CY Stephens Auditorium) and is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Munn Woods neighborhood. Situated on a breathtaking nearly 1-acre wooded lot adjacent to Munn Woods, this property offers privacy, timeless design, and stunning natural surroundings rarely found in Ames.

Inside, the main floor showcases oak hardwood floors, rich birch paneling, a striking louvered entryway, and an open staircase that immediately highlights the home's architectural character. The spacious living room is framed by incredible wooded views and anchored by a gas fireplace, creating a warm yet dramatic gathering space. A large dining area features original custom built-ins, while the open kitchen blends vintage character with modern functionality through granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Two generously sized bedrooms with oversized closets and a beautifully preserved full bathroom with custom tile work and dual sinks complete the main level.

The walk-out lower level continues the home's distinctive craftsmanship with additional custom woodwork and engineered oak flooring in a diagonal pattern. A large family room with a wood-burning fireplace and patio access offers the perfect place to relax or entertain. Two additional spacious bedrooms with large closets, a charming ¾ bathroom with original tile details, plus extensive laundry and storage areas complete the lower level.

Outside, enjoy mature trees, stunning landscaping, natural boulder retaining walls, and a large fenced backyard with custom dog kennel access through the garage. Recent updates include a superior tapered flat roof system (2019), Pella windows in bedrooms and kitchen (2023), exterior paint (2024), and refrigerator (2025), among other improvements the owner has thoughtfully made over the years (see attached document). A 1-year AHS home warranty is included for added peace of mind. A rare opportunity to own an architecturally distinctive home in one of Ames' most treasured settings.
