Home buyers dreaming of escaping to a treehouse hideout can purchase the next best thing on a quiet Ames cul-de-sac. Listed at $549,900, the eclectic, mid-century modern-inspired home at 4702 Dover Drive is hidden by a canopy of leaves for most of the year, turning the rear decks into a woodland escape, complete with an outdoor swing. Built in 1976, subsequent owners believed the home was intentionally planned for the future, when the surrounding trees matured and created the present leafy cocoon around the home, bordered by a long drop into woods below. Adding to the property’s considerable outdoor appeal, the 1,248-square-foot, 1½ story home features a very unusual and deliberate layout that creates an uncommon mix of angled edges, hallways and a sunken room layout built with few straight lines, or right-angle corners.
