Located on a quiet street, this welcoming two-story home offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and convenience. It's just minutes from parks, shopping, and downtown Iowa City—with easy access to I-80 —this location truly has it all. Recent updates include a new entry, new mantle above the woodburning fireplace, fresh paint in most rooms and an updated kitchen. A gorgeous deck steps down to a beautiful level yard surrounded by mature trees. Inside the home there's a lovey solarium, a primary suite tucked away with its own private deck, generous bedrooms, and more storage than you will know what to do with. A heated workshop is just off the garage too. This is more than a house—it’s a welcoming, move-in ready home waiting for its next chapter.
