Nestled on 2.37 private acres along a paved road at 54845 130th St, Story City, IA 50248, this beautifully renovated 1,976 sq. ft. home offers the perfect blend of modern luxury and peaceful country living, just a few minutes from Story City and I-35, under 10 miles from Ames, and 10 minutes from Ada Hayden and McFarland Park. The home has been transformed from top to bottom with 3 bedrooms plus a non-conforming basement bedroom, 2¾ bathrooms, new flooring and fresh drywall throughout, a brand-new multi-head mini-split system upstairs for custom climate control, new spray foam and blown-in insulation, a whole-home water filtration system, and a tankless water heater, all part of a meticulous down-to-the-studs infrastructure overhaul featuring almost entirely new plumbing and completely up-to-date electrical. The gourmet kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and brand-new appliances, and a new washer and dryer are included. The acreage is ideal for hobbyists or homesteaders, featuring a historic 1920 lofted dairy barn eligible for special incentives under current Iowa tax law (427.1(31), 427.1(32)), a milking shed, a cold storage shed with concrete floors and an attached lean-to, and two small garden sheds; a new septic tank was recently installed with updated perforated tile drainage, all outbuildings and hydrants connect to a working well system while the home itself is on city water, and all large outbuildings have running electricity.
