    What's special

    Thoughtful updates and timeless charm come together in this beautifully maintained ranch-style home on the NE side of Cedar Rapids. Situated on a nearly half-acre corner lot, this rare in-town property offers space, character, and room to grow in a highly desirable location. While this home offers charm around every corner, the nearly 730 square foot addition truly transformed the way this incredible property lives. The expansive family room adds the space to gather, relax, and make memories, while the spacious primary addition with a private ensuite creates the perfect retreat. Add in the main floor laundry room, and this home offers comfortable living for years to come. Throughout the home, original woodwork, beautiful hardwood floors, and a formal dining room speak to the kind of craftsmanship you simply cannot recreate. The updated kitchen offers the right mix of style and function, while the wood-burning fireplace adds that warm, cozy feeling that makes a house feel like home. The three-season room and large deck provide ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining while overlooking the expansive backyard, complete with its own Rollie Bollie court. An oversized heated garage of nearly 750 square feet offers incredible space for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or a workshop. The lower level provides excellent potential for future finished space, a half bath, and great storage. This Cedar Rapids ranch combines classic charm, modern updates, an oversized lot, and hard-to-find main-level living, all near parks, schools, shopping, dining, and convenient access throughout the Corridor. A true gem with endless possibilities.
