Tucked away on a picturesque tree-lined road, this charming 4-bedroom ranch offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience—just 6 minutes from downtown Iowa City! Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors throughout the main level, a spacious first-floor family room with a cozy fireplace, and an updated kitchen featuring custom cabinetry by Steve Johannas. Start your mornings in the sun-drenched four-season room, where you can sip coffee while overlooking the beautifully manicured yard, complete with gardens and two garden sheds. The walkout lower level offers incredible versatility—it can serve as a mother-in-law suite or easily be converted back into a sprawling family room. A rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful, wooded surroundings with city conveniences just minutes away. So many updates - new washer/dryer '25, furnace humidifier '25, vinyl siding '21, garage doors '19, roof '19, well pump '17, kitchen remodel '14, furnace & AC '09. Every month, something new blooms - hydrangea, hosta, lavender, Japanese fern, baptista, daylilies, sedum, sweetspire, peonies, hibiscus, stella d'oro, plus an amazing vegetable garden. Be careful of the electric fence to keep the deer away-it is live. There are laundry hookups on the FF too. With your own well and septic, there are no HOA fees - a true private oasis!
