Tucked into a lush, green setting on the east side of Iowa City, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch blends mid-century character with inviting outdoor spaces. The front and fully fenced backyard are a nature lover’s dream—with expanded perennial beds, fruit trees, a water fountain, fire pit, and a cozy reading shed accented by string lights. Built in 1959, the home retains much of its original charm, featuring hardwood floors throughout the main level and thoughtful vintage details. The partially finished lower level includes fresh carpet, a wet bar, and a full bath, along with a spacious unfinished area perfect for a workshop or creative space. A detached 1-stall garage completes the property, offering both functionality and curb appeal.
