    What's special

    Gorgeous fireplaceAbundant natural lightHalf bathOversized kitchenFormal dining roomOriginal light fixturesGorgeous wood throughout
    Here's an opportunity to go back and experience the 1890's of Iowa City at this magnificent Victorian-era home. Summit Street mansions were splendid then and now, both social and architectural landmarks that set the pace for Iowa City! The most remarkable features of this four bedroom/1.5 bath 2,373 SF home are the 9' ceilings, gorgeous wood throughout (staircase, floors, doors, and stunning pocket doors), original light fixtures, abundant natural light, a 100+-year-old tree in the large (.37 acres) and fenced yard, three mature apple trees, and the oversized (>200 SF) front porch. The main level is loaded with character and includes a gorgeous fireplace in the living room, two corner built-ins in the formal dining room, an oversized kitchen, a half bath, and an excellent family room addition. All stainless steel kitchen appliances were replaced in 2019. The second level features four bedrooms, a full bath, nice-sized closets, and an unfinished walk-up attic. There is a two-car garage with additional storage and a separate fenced area for a dog run or dedicated garden. This home sits back from the street and is located in a park-like setting and the South Summit St Historic District neighborhood, which is registered on the National Register of Historic Places and within walking distance to Longfellow Elementary and Deluxe French Bakery.
