About This Home

As of July 2025

Storybook Schoolhouse Home nestled on a hilltop in the country for that relaxed, quiet living. Located 15 minutes from Iowa City! So much to do: inground pool, treehouse, raised gardens, firepit, stargazing, you can have chickens if you want... This home has all the updates nearly too numerous to mention! Beautiful second floor loft built by renowned Ramsey Creek to create those private spaces. Complete modern kitchen & bath update. Just enough schoolhouse patina lovingly left so you can still hear the squeak of the chalk. Electrical, plumbing, well, septic, HVAC, metal roof - Done!! Laundry facilities in the new bathroom and the basement - take your pick. Welcome Home to that 'no need for curtains' kind of life!!
