About This Home
As of February 2025Welcome to your new cozy haven! This lovely four-bedroom home is nestled in a friendly, established neighborhood, just a nice stroll away from Mercer Park! The lower level opens right up to a charming fenced yard, complete with a garden bed and fruit trees, making it perfect for your green thumb. You'll find a cozy family room down there, along with the fourth bedroom and a convenient 3/4 bath, all just a few steps inside from the sliding door. Plus, there's a handy laundry room right nearby! Imagine enjoying the patio under the deck, a delightful shady retreat to escape the summer heat—perfect for setting up a wading pool or sandbox for the kids to enjoy. The level backyard is just right for yard games and endless playtime fun! And the location couldn't be better: an easy walk to schools, the park, grocery stores, the pharmacy, and the bus stop. You’re just a hop, skip, and jump away from all the excitement of downtown Iowa City or Sycamore Mall. This home is not just a place to live, it's a wonderful community to be part of!
