Enjoy the best of both worlds — the peaceful rural feel of the countryside while still being just minutes from the shopping, dining, and amenities of downtown Iowa City.

Outside, the possibilities continue with two additional out buildings. One sized at 54x30 and the other 18x45. Workshop has a roll up garage door and a double slide door for easy access of larger vehicles. 2nd is built and powered to accommodate large motor homes.
