About This Home

Price Improvement! Thoughtfully maintained and move-in ready, step inside this well cared for 2 bed, 2 bath West Branch property that offers the perfect blend of practical living and small-town charm. You’ll find a bright, open floor plan that makes the space feel both relaxed and inviting. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, beautiful quartz countertops, and like-new appliances, ready for weeknight dinners or weekend gatherings. The main floor laundry adds everyday ease. The master bedroom delivers both space and comfort with a walk-in closet and a bathroom that includes a soothing walk-in shower tub. The lower level is unfinished, but adding a third bedroom and bathroom would be easy to do, giving you flexibility to expand and make the space your own. French doors open from the main living area to a cozy deck with a peaceful view, a perfect spot for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or relaxing after a long day. The yard provides just the right balance of space and simplicity for low-maintenance outdoor living. Located in a welcoming neighborhood near West Branch schools, parks, and the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum, this home offers easy access to I-80 and Iowa City, just 15 minutes from Kinnick Stadium and Carver-Hawkeye Arena for those who love catching a Hawkeye game.
