About This Home

This is 173 Hilltop Drive in West Branch, and it’s the kind of place that just feels good to come home to. It sits in a quiet, friendly neighborhood where folks wave as they walk by. You’re close to schools, parks, and downtown, and it’s only a quick drive to Iowa City and I-80, so getting around is easy. Inside, the open layout makes everyday living comfortable. The kitchen stands out with custom cabinets, countertops, and like-new appliances. Electric window blinds are one of those little touches that make life easier. The main floor also has a convenient laundry room, which saves trips up and down stairs. The bedrooms are cozy and practical, while the master suite includes a big walk-in closet and a bathroom with a walk-in shower tub that makes winding down easy. Out back, there’s a welcoming patio and a yard that’s just the right size—not too much to maintain, but plenty of space to enjoy. The unfinished basement gives you room to create your own unique space, whether that’s a workshop, rec room, or extra living area. This home has been well cared for and is move-in ready with thoughtful updates throughout. If you’re looking for a place in West Branch that’s comfortable, practical, and welcoming, this could be the one.
