1028 19th St NW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52405

Unique best describes this spacious home, not only because of the home itself, but also its unique position perched atop a hill on more than a half-acre lot that offers expansive views over the City that are unrestricted thanks to the height of the lot as well as being situated across the street from Shawnee Park and with a huge, park-like neighboring acreage to the back of the property. This home is truly nestled into what feels like a nature reserve. To offer one more continuation on the theme of uniqueness, this home is a rare opportunity to take advantage of this home’s beautiful location and to put one’s own stamp of personality and customizations on this home to make it one’s own. Nearly 3,000 square feet above ground that includes an addition that expanded the kitchen and second level. This kitchen is absolutely enormous and features a large pantry, fireplace, expansive eat-in area, loads of windows that allow natural light to cascade into the space, and an adjoining porch that has functioned for years as a gorgeous green house, but could certainly be used for many other purposes. The amazing, cast iron, gas cooktop and oven is the same one on permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum used by famous American cooking show host, Julia Child, in her home. Ample trees that provide great privacy, ample parking on the long driveway, oversized two-car garage with rafter storage, walk-out lower level, fenced-in yard area, fruit trees, and a beautiful front porch with climbing vines that make it feel like a secret garden. Many old world features that maintain the charm of the vintage, but also changes to the home have modernized some of its function. Newer windows, siding and roof. Come see this special property and all the potential it offers!
