    What's special

    Gleaming hardwood floorsHistoric characterScreened in porchBrand-new metal roof

    Nestled on a quiet street in historic Lucas Farms, this charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage seamlessly blends historic character with modern comforts. Thoughtfully updated, the home retains its original charm with gleaming hardwood floors and abundant natural light streaming through multiple windows in each room. The remodeled bathroom features timeless finishes and contemporary fixtures, offering both style and functionality. The heart of the home is surrounded by lush views of the expansive garden, where raised beds invite your green thumb and outdoor gatherings feel effortless. Recent updates include a brand-new metal roof, energy-efficient HVAC system, new radon system, new washer and dryer, and a new water heater providing peace of mind for years to come. Whether you're curling up with a book in the sun-drenched living room or screened in porch or harvesting fresh herbs from your garden, this cottage is the perfect blend of cozy and current. Tenant pays for utilities. These usually include: city of Iowa City for trash, sewer, yard waste and recycling (about $70 per month); electricity and gas from Mid American (usually around $125 per month) and I'm On for WiFi at approximately $100 per month. No smoking inside home or on screened in porch. Tenant is responsible for yard maintenance and snow removal. To protect the privacy and security of our current tenant, we require all interested parties to complete a rental profile before scheduling a viewing. This helps ensure that only serious applicants who meet the basic requirements are considered. We appreciate your understanding, as this process allows us to respect the tenant's space while also making the experience more efficient and focused for everyone involved.
