About this property

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.

Seller's review

8 days ago

He knew the history of the property and neighborhood during my ten year ownership.

When I retired to Ames 10 years ago my daughter and son in law connected me to Christian. He handled my purchase. As a resident of Ames for many years he knew the area and how the neighborhood was evolving. The marketing plan included what I would call "launch" dates for the realtors and for potential buyers to begin seeing the home. He knew what things needed refreshing. I moved to my new home so we could thoroughly clean the spaces with no furniture in the way. And have freshly painted walls so buyers could envision the property as their space with their things in it. Several realtors previewed the home when it was opened to them. When potential buyers began touring the home some offers were presented. Christian and I viewed one offer as particularly outstanding. I accepted that offer and the new owner recently closed on the property. I am aware of properties in Ames that have not moved quickly. The paperwork required to properly list a home has become much more involved since I had purchased the property. Hiring an agent, specifically Christian, is an excellent investment. He was responsive and had the required staging, photography, and social media tools to quickly market my house.
