About This Home

As of July 2020

Welcome to one of Ridgewood Addition's finest historic masterpieces. Built in 1917, this elegant colonial home was built into the history of Cedar Rapids. Known as the Van Vechten Shaffer home, it holds some of the original craftsmanship of our very own, Grant Wood. Original inlaid plaster ceilings, a hand carved wooden door, a hand carved wooden archway, and an iron railing reflect his craftsmanship. Respectful to its roots, this home has been updated and offers all the conveniences. Updates are everywhere including electrical, mechanicals, and much of the roof. An extravagant kitchen awaits the finest cook with striking appliances and counter/cupboard space galore. Discover the spacious bedrooms and take in all the master bath has to offer. This home has everything including an in-house sound system, lead paned windows, reflection pond, fountain, outdoor fireplace, and sport-court. Come be part of history, in style.
