Located in the desirable Iowa City north end and just minutes from Shimek, this home offers incredible potential for you to add your personal touch. Just steps inside the front door you'll find a bright and airy LARGE eat-in kitchen with a roomy pantry that overlooks the wooded ravine that is the backdrop for your large yard. The bedrooms are spacious and light filled, just across from the renovated bathroom with skylight. The lower level features a spacious family room, a non-conforming 4th bedroom, a full bathroom, a large inside workshop with additional storage and laundry area. The home has been well-maintained with steel siding, a roof and skylight replaced in 2011, fresh paint in kitchen (spring 2025), newer carpeting, and newer HVAC. The deep one car garage provides yard equipment storage and additional storage can be found in the backyard shed. Extra pad adds parking convenience. With its proximity to schools, shopping, interstate and downtown, the location can't be beat and with just a little updating, this home could be your oasis!
