This iconic University Heights home combines curb appeal, a quiet dead end street, and a setting that overlooks a wooded ravine and protected green space. Its location is walkable to Iowa Health Care’s main hospital, Kinnick Stadium, the Law School, and University of Iowa Athletics. The main level begins with a foyer leading to a formal living room with built in bookshelves and french doors leading to a family room with wooded views. A spacious office with dramatic windows overlooking the ravine is also off the living room. The kitchen is conveniently located between a breakfast area and formal dining room. The spacious back deck is accessed from the breakfast area. A mudroom and pantry area connect to the attached two car garage. The main level also has a half bath with main-floor laundry. Upstairs are five bedrooms, including a primary suite with expansive windows, dual vanities, walk in closet, and a tile shower. A lofted bedroom above the office features its own ensuite bath, while a third full bath with vintage tile serves the remaining bedrooms. The walkout lower level provides a sixth bedroom, half bath, second laundry, finished living space, workshop, and storage. With hardwood flooring in the main living areas, vintage tile preserved upstairs, and generous natural light throughout, the home blends tradition and comfort.
