About This Home

As of April 2025

Find your peace in this earth berm home snuggled in a wooded setting just north of Iowa City. If you have never been in an earth berm house, you must come see this. This home has been meticulously maintained and is sweetly sized, with 3 beds, 2 baths, an office on the main, a butler's pantry, and cozy sunporch/4 season room off the primary bedroom. Light floods the home from the south, streaming in through two large bay windows and three skylights, illuminating the soaring cathedral ceilings and the wide-open main level floorplan. The kitchen is nicely appointed with newer stainless steel appliances and a gas range. Enjoy communing with nature on the raised deck or at the firepit in the wooded, rambling yard, a portion of which is fenced. There are raised garden beds, too! House comes with a combined water softener and iron breaker system. Lovely stranded bamboo flooring upstairs looks exotic but fits into the vibe of this bright contemporary home. HVAC new in 2021, front roof new in 2024, whole home surge protector installed 2024. Skylight in bathroom is being replaced in spring 2025.
