Designed in the 1970s by the Dean of Architecture at Iowa State, 4702 Dover Dr is a mid-century modern masterpiece that feels like a luxurious treehouse. Tucked on a cul-de-sac and backing to acres of timber, the lush trees wrap the home so completely you can't see a single neighbor. It has that hillside hideaway feel: the kind of place where you put a record on and stay awhile. Inside, 2,000 sq ft of finished space has been masterfully updated without losing its soul. Vaulted ceilings and oversized windows flood the home with natural light, while gorgeous engineered hardwood runs throughout. The kitchen, with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, flows perfectly into the sunken living space, where one of two wood burning fireplaces sets the mood. Level 5 drywall and dimmable lighting in every space show the attention to detail. The true primary suite sits on the main level with a walk-in closet and a gorgeous tiled walk-in shower. The walkout lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a second family room, full bathroom and the laundry room. That's 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in total, each bath finished with tile floors. Out back, extensive decking runs the entire length of the home on both the upper and lower levels, putting you right in the treetops. A fully fenced portion of the yard is perfect for pets. The big-ticket items are done: brand new roof in 2026, brand new high efficiency furnace, replaced upper deck, two new retaining walls, and a chimney sweep completed in the last year. Homes like this one rarely come up in Ames. Come see it in person!
