Charming Cottage in Prime Walkable Location! A rare find in Iowa City, this inviting cottage combines timeless appeal with an unbeatable location on a quiet, walkable street near downtown. Thoughtful landscaping surrounds the home with lush gardens front and back, creating a private urban oasis. Inside, graceful archways connect the main rooms, and a built-in corner cupboard adds a touch of vintage elegance. Hardwood floors and abundant natural light enhance the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The living and dining rooms flow together seamlessly, making it perfect for entertaining. Enjoy peaceful mornings in the sun porch and cozy evenings by the fireplace. Upstairs features dormer windows with built-in window seats and a flexible room ideal for a home office or creative retreat. A fully finished basement adds valuable living space for guests, hobbies, or a rec room. Homes with this combination of charm, character, and prime location don’t come on the market very often in Iowa City.
