Tucked into one of the most desired neighborhoods on the NE side of Cedar Rapids, this extraordinary Cape Cod–style home offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and timeless design—all situated on a 1.5-acre wooded lot with COUNTY TAXES. Surrounded by mature trees and incredible privacy, this 6,747 sq ft custom home, built in 1998, underwent an impressive $250,000 remodel in 2019, creating a beautifully updated retreat ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. From the moment you enter, the dramatic great room with 16-foot ceilings, custom built-ins, a gas fireplace, and Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring throughout much of the main level sets the tone for the craftsmanship and scale found throughout the home. The chef’s kitchen is designed for functionality and gathering, featuring granite countertops, double ovens, gas range, spacious pantry, breakfast bar, and room for a large dining table, along with a separate wet bar with mini fridge and half dishwasher, newer refrigerator, and full dishwasher. A cozy hearth room and a formal dining room provide flexible entertaining spaces, while the adjacent sunroom filled with natural light offers peaceful views of the surrounding wooded property. Step outside to a regrouted patio with gas fire pit and gas line for a grill, complemented by an irrigation system, newer retaining walls, and newly planted evergreens added since 2020. The main level primary suite is a private sanctuary featuring its own deck overlooking nature, a spacious walk-in closet, and a completely remodeled spa-like bathroom with travertine, heated floors, quartz countertops, dual vanities, a soaker tub, and an oversized custom tiled rain shower.
