This remarkable home in Iowa City’s beloved Longfellow Neighborhood is a rare blend of historic character and top-tier modern renovation. From the moment you step onto the iconic front porch with porch swing, you’ll sense the care and intention poured into every detail. The spacious living room features a wood-burning fireplace and flows into a light-filled dining area. Stunning kitchen by Modern Roots includes white custom cabinetry, stainless counters, natural wood accents, cork flooring, and luxury appliances: Miele induction cooktop, vent hood, wall oven, warming drawer, convection microwave, dishwasher, and GE Profile fridge. Hip main-level powder room. Upstairs: 3 bedrooms and a stylish bath with tiled shower, body sprays, and bench. Renovated attic (2024–25) offers built-ins, finished storage, and a luxurious ensuite with soaking tub. Renovated lower level (2021) adds a family room with gas fireplace, 5th bedroom, and spa-inspired steam shower. Fenced yard, screened porch, deck, and whole-house generator. With an unbeatable location near Deluxe Bakery, Thomas Meat Market, Longfellow Elementary, and downtown Iowa City, this home is quintessential Iowa City—thoughtfully designed, lovingly maintained, and truly one of a kind.
