618 9th St Ames, IA 50010

Some homes give you a place to live. The rare few change the way you live. Welcome to 618 9th Street, a beautifully preserved 1910 American farmhouse in Ames' beloved Old Town neighborhood. Walk to the Farmers' Market, coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, grocery stores, and community events, then come home to a backyard that's more than beautiful-it's alive. Pollinator gardens, native plantings, flowering trees, raised beds, butterflies, birds, and peaceful outdoor spaces create a sanctuary that grows richer with every season. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 1,784 SF, fresh interior paint (2026), a spacious kitchen, inviting living spaces, and an oversized deck made for gathering. A new roof and gutters (2024), detached two-car garage with hobby/workshop space, and location outside Ames' Historic Preservation review area complete this exceptional home. Come see what your next chapter could look like.
