    What's special

    Charming 1940 Cape Cod right in Iowa City! This lovingly-maintained and updated 3-bedroom home is full of character—arched doorways, a period-correct kitchen, and original multi-paned windows. Hardwood floors run throughout the main living spaces, and abundant natural light fills every room, even on this nicely shaded, tree-lined lot. Updated bathroom, new lights and so many loving touches throughout. Kitchen boasts updated stainless refrigerator and stove. Wonderfully updated partially finished lower level adds an additional family room, bedroom as well as spacious laundry area and copious storage. The detached garage has been finished and used most recently as an art studio but maintains the manual garage door for cars. Garage features a new electrical panel and is wired for mini split and has updated windows and a heater. And the adorable fenced backyard offers space to spread out, garden, & entertain. Nestled on a manageable 0.14-acre lot, the home is close to schools, parks, shopping, and more. A rare opportunity to own a classic piece of Iowa City’s past with everyday convenience built in. Adorable. Must see!
