    What's special

    Set on a beautifully expansive lot in coveted Manville Heights, this lovingly maintained home offers a rare blend of enduring character and considered updates. Hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and an effortless flow of natural light give the main living spaces a sense of warmth and quiet refinement. The kitchen is both inviting and highly functional, with generous cabinetry, Corian countertops, a breakfast bar, and a built-in desk—anchored by newer Bosch appliances and designed to support both everyday living and easy gathering. With three bedrooms and three baths, the layout offers comfortable flexibility for guests, work, or simply room to spread out. A spacious screened porch extends the home’s living space in a way that feels seamless, opening to a yard that is truly exceptional for the neighborhood—private, expansive, and full of possibility. Recent exterior paint reflects the consistent care this home has received over time. Well-composed and genuinely inviting, this is a property that lives with ease and offers a rare opportunity in one of Iowa City’s most established and beloved neighborhoods. Walkable to UIHC, Hancher, City Park and downtown Iowa City, the livability and love-ability of this gracious property is evident before one even takes a step inside. Come see for yourself...you'll be so glad you did.
