What's special

Nearly an acre with pond views! This ranch home with a walk out lower level has plenty of space inside and out. There are 4 bedrooms (one non-conforming) and 2 full bathrooms, a screened in porch and a beautiful patio with fire pit. The lower level is plumbed for a full kitchen (or amazing wet bar) and wait until you see the garage space in this home! Everything has been well maintained or updated so you can move right in and enjoy small town living only 20 minutes away from Iowa City. Ask for a list of additions and updates because there are too many to list.
