About This Home

As of November 2020

One word, three times: Location, location, location! This home is situated on the corner of Forest Drive and Grande Avenue, one of the most sought after areas in all of Cedar Rapids. This stretch of street on Grande has been featured in multiple films over the years, which is not difficult to understand when you see the tree-lined streets and unique, well-maintained homes. Improved substantially since purchased in 2016, these home owners have loved on this house with new flooring; fresh paint; a new roof to be done soon as part of the recent hail storms; new furnace and air conditioner in 2014; new water heater in 2017; gorgeous stacked stone on the fireplace; custom built-ins with backlighting that give the large living room a wow factor; a remarkably open floor plan for this vintage; stainless appliances; main floor laundry; a private back yard with large patio. This one will be gone in a flash!
