OPEN HOUSE 9-15-12 2-4p.m. THIS IS A MUST SEE--PICTURES DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE!!A 14 minute drive to Iowa City will buy you twice the home. Immaculately restored (by master builder) 1908, 3-4 bedroom home in quiet and peaceful West Liberty. If you have an affinity for older homes and are seeking that perfect charm and ambience, unique to a select few, this one is certainly worth a look. The Home is situated on an over-sized corner lot, 75' x 160'. Beautiful, mature hardwood trees grace front and side yards, as well as the spacious 75' x 85' backyard. Backyard includes both a patio and deck. Backyard is also privacy fenced with solid 4x4 cedar posts, solid cedar 2x4 rails and solid 6' cedar vertical 1x6's. Home was the decades-long residence of Waldo Meyers, the West Liberty City Manager. The home is striking in appearance and also has the mechanical underpinning to ensure years of worry-free living. Home’s size is suited to any family and is in close proximity to all schools. Consistent with the current trend, the home is not unduly large to create unnecessary utility costs for the sake of status, yet has all the bedrooms, baths, entertainment and dining rooms to provide for raising a family without crowding. I would describe the home as very efficiently laid out and beautifully functional, providing versatility in regard to family size accommodation. A short 14 minute drive from Iowa City (I drive it in less time and less gas than going from Iowa City to Coralville) will secure you a home the quality and value of which would make Iowa Citians and ‘new’ home owners envious. Or to quote a well-known Iowa City realtor who toured the home, "This is a $360,000 home were it located in my neighborhood." He was referring to the Longfellow area of Iowa City. In addition, the home resides in the peace, quiet and tranquility of a very nice and friendly small town. 1st floor ½ bath. 2nd floor large full bath with original (large) tub. Spacious kitchen, living room and dining room on 1st floor. Homes is in near-perfect, original condition and should require no maintenance for many years.
