Character sells, and this house has it in spades. A green front door with serious curb appeal. Original hardwoods that shine. A brick fireplace wrapped in warm oak. A staircase straight out of a storybook. This classic Cedar Rapids two-story doesn't whisper, it shows off. The kitchen works hard with oak cabinets, stainless appliances, and room to actually cook. Original French doors off the dining room open to a sunroom drenched in natural light. Coffee spot, plant paradise, home office. Your call. Upstairs delivers roomy bedrooms, a freshly updated full bath, and a primary with a sliding barn door closet and built-ins. Still want more? Head up to the finished walk-up attic, a full bonus level begging to be a rec room, playroom, or studio. Outside: fenced yard, patio, mature shade trees, storage shed. Done and done. And the location? Minutes to Coe College, the MedQuarter, NewBo, breweries, and downtown Cedar Rapids. First-time buyers and investors, take note. Move-in ready homes with this much character at this price do not sit. Book your showing now, because hesitation is how you lose this one.
