541 Amhurst Street sits in one of East Iowa City's most established and sought-after neighborhoods and it delivers exactly what picky buyers are looking for: 5 bedrooms, nearly 3,000 square feet, tasteful updates, and a layout that actually works. The main level is bright and well-proportioned, with fresh LVP flooring, places to entertain and a screened sun porch that makes you want to linger. The lower level adds two more bedrooms, a full bath, serious storage and a workshop space with garage access. It's the kind of finished basement that earns its square footage because you actually want to hang there. Step outside and the side yard surprises you because it's fully fenced, private, and thoughtfully planted with native perennials and raised garden beds. There's real space for a campfire, a garden, or just some quiet. This home is pristine in the way that it's not just cleaned up for photos, but genuinely cared for. AC replaced in 2023. Updated bath. New fixtures and paint throughout. Homes like this in this neighborhood don't come up often.
