This charming two-story sits on a quiet dead-end street in Cedar Rapids, right next door to the historic Brucemore estate, a rare spot you won't find just anywhere in this market. Step inside and you'll notice the kitchen and bathroom have both been completely redone. The kitchen has sage green cabinetry, quartz counters, subtle brass hardware, a farmhouse-style bridge faucet, and crisp subway tile that give it a boutique feel most homes in this price range don't have. The bathroom got the same care, with a marble-look quartz vanity, brushed gold fixtures, and a warm-toned cabinet base. Original hardwood floors run throughout, and the layout offers an easy, open living and dining flow. Upstairs, you'll find bright, freshly neutral bedrooms with ceiling fans and generous windows. Out back there's a new deck, a cozy backyard, and a one-stall detached garage. It's the kind of updates-meet-location combination that doesn't come around often. Come see it for yourself!
