About This Home

As of May 2026

Welcome to this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence set on 2.19 beautifully landscaped acres in Ely’s sought-after Whispering Hills neighborhood. Located in the desirable College Community School District, this remarkable property offers a rare blend of privacy, wooded surroundings, and breathtaking sunset views— minutes from Downtown Cedar Rapids and schools. Offering over 4,500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the home showcases quality craftsmanship and timeless appeal. Inside, soaring high ceilings, rich wood flooring, and expansive windows fill the home with natural light, creating a setting that feels both refined and welcoming. The living room is centered around a gas fireplace with custom built-ins, while the kitchen features granite countertops, a large island with breakfast bar, and abundant cabinetry, flowing into a bright four-season room overlooking the picturesque backyard. The main-level primary suite offers a spacious en-suite bath and oversized walk-in closet. The finished walk-out lower level expands the home’s living and entertaining space with a dedicated movie theater with stadium seating. Additional highlights include a whole-home Sonos audio system, composite deck, private putting green, new roof and siding, and professionally landscaped grounds, all thoughtfully curated.
