Just blocks from downtown Iowa City and right across from the beloved Horace Mann Elementary, this large 2-story home offers space, character, and incredible potential. The main level features a welcoming living room, formal dining, kitchen, and convenient half bath, all anchored by beautifully angled hardwood floors that add warmth and charm. With four bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, plus a finished walk-up attic for added flexibility, there's room for everyone. The lower level is partially finished with the opportunity to create a fifth bedroom, home office, or bonus space. Outside, you'll find a one-car detached garage and a great backyard. With a little love and vision, this centrally located gem will truly shine!
