This refreshed two bedroom, one bath Iowa City Moffitt home brings together classic character and smart updates while staying true to the spirit of the original design. Inside you’ll find almost every inch has been refreshed from the brand new kitchen and bathroom, along with freshly skim coated walls, and crisp new paint inside and out. Updated lighting, electrical and plumbing improvements, and newly added central air add comfort as well as peace of mind. The functional eat in kitchen opens to a brand new deck through an added exterior door, an easy spot for morning coffee, casual dinners, or watching the neighborhood wind down at sunset. The fireplace has been reimagined with a cedar shake exterior build out and electric insert, creating a warm focal point and a clean, environmentally friendly improvement. Outside, the new front porch creates a welcoming entry and the recent landscaping and extensive tree trimming open the yard and let the sunlight into the home. The smaller lot footprint makes upkeep simple. The unfinished painted and refreshed basement ,rare for a Moffitt home, offers excellent storage and room for hobbies, fitness space, or future finishing options. With many thoughtful improvements already in place, this quaint Eastside Iowa City home is easy to move into and enjoy.
