Description

A home full of charm, preserved details, and a rare connection to nature awaits its next steward.

Inside, the 1950s character shines: the living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a striking floor-to-ceiling stone surround and expansive western-facing windows that usher in warm afternoon light.

Set on a serene 0.39-acre lot, this property offers tranquil wooded ravine views and backs up to 13.85 acres of preserved land, locally known as The Shimek Ravine. Inside, the 1950s character shines: the living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a striking floor-to-ceiling stone surround and expansive western-facing windows that usher in warm afternoon light. A pass-through connects the dining area to the quintessential mid-century kitchen, complete with knotty pine cabinets, retro countertops, and authentic wood paneling. Step out to the large screened back porch—accessible from both the kitchen and dining areas—to take in wooded views just moments from Downtown Iowa City. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer flexibility, including one with built-in bookshelves, perfect for an office or library. The full bath pays homage to its era with pink tile, vintage vanity lighting, and original countertops. Downstairs, a cozy family room, oversized laundry room off the garage, and unfinished spaces hint at this home's potential. This home is held by an estate and is being sold in as-is condition.
