About This Home

This home beautifully blends storybook charm with everyday comfort, offering character-rich architecture, original details, and inviting spaces with personality. The Tudor-inspired exterior and cottage-style interior create a warm, welcoming first impression that sets this property apart from more typical designs. The upper level features a private primary suite with a full bath and a walk-in closet—an uncommon and highly desirable combination for a home of this era. Two main-level bedrooms and a full bath provide flexible options for main-floor living, while the cozy family room offers a comfortable spot to relax. The finished lower level adds valuable bonus space, ideal for game nights, movie marathons, or overnight guests. Located in a well-established, highly desirable neighborhood, this home is just steps from Brucemore Mansion and conveniently close to outdoor concerts, parks, trails, schools, shopping, and everyday amenities—offering both charm and convenience in a sought-after Cedar Rapids setting.
