FOR SALE BY OWNER! 4001 Tama St SE Cedar Rapids or commonly referred to as White Oaks for the abundant amount of White Oak trees surrounding the home. This home was lovingly designed and custom built for Curt and Norma Hames, it was their personal home until 2017 when Curt passed way and Norma moved into a smaller custom built home in their Gardenview Addition. From the uphill winding concrete drive and the huge brick entrance walls on either side as you enter the property and start to see the 6.6 acres that the home sits on. It sits high over the existing area and the view is breath taking. Until the inland hurricane in 2020 you would rarely be able to see the home through the trees. However, with the loss of trees the property has been opened up and the green grass flowing off the hill sides emphasizes the view even more. The home is all brick and has several brick patios that surround the home. The home is of classic design and very stately, Upon entry you see the huge rounded staircase and church like window that over looks the back yard. The main hall on the 1st floor is Italian marble and flows from one end of the house clear to the other end. Huge vaulted ceilings, family room has what is referred to as a coffin ceiling, the room has soaring ceilings and lots of daylight and multiple windows to enjoy nature and wildlife such as deer and turkey. The interior is nothing like you see in modern homes, the walls are all plaster rather than sheetrock and is custom hand built with curved walls and staircases, 9” custom built solid wood doors. Lots of storage space with large closets. Main floor bedroom has his and her baths and a surrounding view that cannot be found anywhere. The custom plaster and wood work carries through the lower level with 2 bedroom and 4 baths, Bonus features are the lower level spa and exercise room and a cedar closet with a Lefebure bank vault door hidden behind a built in shelf that reveal a 8’ x 10’ concrete safe room!! The garage has stairs to the lower level which eases moving larger item from the outside. Basement has 10’ ceilings multiple walk out doors that bring extra light to the lower area. If you are a Superman and you want a Fortress of Solitude, I highly encourage you to consider this home. Plenty of room for a large detached garage or an in ground pool.
