Incredible investment opportunity! Just a few blocks from downtown Iowa City, this stunning home is full of surprises and has undergone an impressive transformation with numerous updates in recent years. The light-filled main level features a spacious living room that flows seamlessly into the beautifully updated kitchen at the back of the home. Two bright, well-sized bedrooms are located on the main level, including a primary suite with a private, updated bathroom and walk-in closet. A second fully renovated bathroom is also conveniently located on the main level. The owners have creatively reimagined the rear porch entry into a charming dining space, adding both character and functionality. The upper level continues to impress with a self-contained living area offering excellent flexibility. This space includes an additional updated kitchen, bedroom, living room, and full bathroom—ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental opportunities. Major mechanical updates add peace of mind, including a new roof (2020), new heating system (2023), and new A/C (2023). This desirable location is just minutes from Mann Elementary, daycare, shopping, and the trails of Hickory Hill Park. The University of Iowa and UI Hospitals!
