Welcome to a gem, located on Brown St, in the heart of Iowa City. Built in 1887 and thoughtfully maintained, this two-story home offers 1,364 sq. feet of character and comfort. Featuring three spacious bedrooms, one bathroom, and several large inviting rooms, it s the blend of a vintage homestead with lots of charm. Enjoy peace of mind with a 5-year-old roof, a steel portion of the roof replaced 7 years ago, and a new concrete drive. Fresh interior paint complements the beautiful exterior, which was meticulously stripped of seven layers of paint and repainted just 5 years ago. The garage boasts a new overhead door, and the kitchen is equipped with a brand-new refrigerator. Radiant heating ensures cozy winters. Nestled in the desirable Mann neighborhood, the manageable yard is ideal for gardening or relaxing. Gather together and spend time on the oversized front porch. Adding to its storied charm, the house was moved from next door at the turn of the century and is the second oldest home in this historical area.

With nearby schools, parks, and vibrant downtown amenities just a stone's throw away, this delightful home is ready for its next chapter. Don't miss your chance to make this starter home yours!
