    This fully renovated and updated Northside home offers a rare opportunity to live in one of Iowa City’s most loved neighborhoods. Rebuilt through the UniverCity Program in 2019 and 2020, this thoughtfully designed home with a private upper level apartment blends historic character with modern efficiency and quality craftsmanship. The main level lives comfortably as a light filled one bedroom residence with warm finishes and an easy, functional layout that feels both open and inviting. Updated kitchen and bath spaces, dedicated laundry, and thoughtful design details make everyday living simple and comfortable. Upstairs, a bright European inspired studio apartment offers private laundry and dedicated parking, creating an ideal optional space for guests, extended family, creative workspace, or added flexibility when you need it. Both levels were fully updated with newer kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, HVAC systems, roof, and spray foam attic insulation for year round comfort and energy efficiency. Outside, enjoy a limestone patio, off street parking, and a rare two car garage, a true standout in this historic Northside location. Walkable to downtown Iowa City, coffee shops and favorite local restaurants, this home offers the charm of an established Neighborhood with the ease of modern living.
