Description

A one-of-a-kind treasure in the heart of Iowa City. This pristine 1932 gem sits on nearly an acre just blocks from downtown, offering a rare blend of timeless character, unbeatable location, and generous outdoor space. From the moment you step through the arched front doorway, you’ll feel the magic—original hardwood floors, charming built-ins, period-perfect hardware, and an abundance of natural light throughout. The updated kitchen is crisp and inviting, blending beautifully with the home’s original details while adding modern functionality. Upstairs you’ll find three bright bedrooms, a finished sleeping porch and a sparkling bath, each lovingly maintained and full of warmth. Not to be missed is the additional 200 sq ft of usable space in lower level, including a large laundry area with shower, sink, table & cabinets, providing upgrade of life style. And don’t forget the laundry chute from 2nd floor all the way down. Outside, the property continues to impress: a detached garage, an original dairy barn, and a stunning outdoor fireplace set against the backdrop of a breathtaking yard. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the patio or gathering with friends under the stars, this home is pure enchantment.
