    What's special

    425 Vanderbilt Street offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Fairfax's rich heritage. Be captivated by the historical allure of this 1918 Revival Styled 3 story home, the modern amenities, and the serene outdoor spaces are all delightful. The harmonious blend of old-world charm includes the elegant leaded glass windows, original wood doors, floors & trim - along with more contemporary updates such as the modern full and half baths. Each bathroom has been updated with fresh subway tile, glass wall shower and an antiquated sink. The half bath is charming and convenient on the main level. Enjoy the fresh interior paint throughout most of the home. The home has a 3 year old roof along with updated fascia & soffit. Newer stainless steel kitchen appliances include a gas range. From your cozy new sunroom you can step onto the wrap-around covered porch and envision enjoying lazy afternoons or having additional entertaining space. The garden shed adds functionality and charm to the backyard, perfect for storage or a quaint workspace. Don't miss the raised gardens full of perennials. Natural gas line grill and whole house generator wiring options (buyer must supply generator) give additional peace of mind for Iowa's crazy weather. The 3rd story could be an in-home office/craft/toy/gaming space. Easy commute to almost anywhere. For example: 6 min to Menards on Wiley, 7 min to Mercy South Urgent Care, 11 min to the Cedar Rapids airport, 12 min to College Community Schools, 14 min to the hospital, 15 min to the Edgewood Rd Hy-Vee and 30 min to Iowa City. The property is a historical home and it would be a true delight to own a piece of generations past.
