Property Description

Welcome to this beautifully maintained 1977 home located just south of Iowa City and down the street from the local favorite 218 Tap in charming Hills. Enjoy the best of both worlds — the peaceful rural feel of the countryside while still being just minutes from the shopping, dining, and amenities of downtown Iowa City. Situated on just under 6 acres, this property offers room to spread out, grow, and truly make it your own. Inside, you'll find five generously sized bedrooms, each offering more space than you typically see, a bonus en suite office, along with 2.5 bathrooms.The inviting 3-season porch is a standout feature, with attachable panels, designed to keep the winter elements out creating a relaxing space year-round. Outside, the possibilities continue with two additional out buildings. One sized at 54x30 and the other 18x45. Workshop has a roll up garage door and a double slide door for easy access of larger vehicles. 2nd is built and powered to accommodate large motor homes. There is an old barn and storm shelter located on the property going back to the original farm. A creek spans across the back of the property adding some diverse nature to your backyard view. Additionally, a circular driveway with a center island and beautifully maintained hosta lined pathways, add great curb appeal to this rare find property.
