Description

Tucked under mature trees and located minutes from downtown Iowa City, this house is a gem. It’s full of charm with hardwood floors on the diagonal, original woodwork, a sweet butler's pantry, and a spacious fully-fenced yard. Little details throughout, like the original light fixtures on the main floor bring a coziness to this home and are a lovely nod to the past. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, one of which would make for a great office, den, or other flex space. The full bathroom upstairs has...Tucked under mature trees and located minutes from downtown Iowa City, this house is a gem. It’s full of charm with hardwood floors on the diagonal, original woodwork, a sweet butler's pantry, and a spacious fully-fenced yard. Little details throughout, like the original light fixtures on the main floor bring a coziness to this home and are a lovely nod to the past. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, one of which would make for a great office, den, or other flex space. The full bathroom upstairs has a cast iron clawfoot tub with a shower. Located on the front of the house, the quaint 3-season porch is the perfect place to unwind while you enjoy a summer evening. The basement is poured concrete with a new water heater in 2020, and is plumbed for a bathroom. The level yard stretches back to Bloomington St. and is perfect for outdoor gatherings. The detached garage is accessible from Bloomington and does hold a car but also offers plenty of storage for all of your outdoor tools & gear. There is a working wood-burning stove in the garage making it a usable space throughout the winter.
