Tucked under mature trees and located minutes from downtown Iowa City, this house is a gem. It’s full of charm with hardwood floors on the diagonal, original woodwork, a sweet butler's pantry, and a spacious fully-fenced yard. Little details throughout, like the original light fixtures on the main floor bring a coziness to this home and are a lovely nod to the past. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, one of which would make for a great office, den, or other flex space. The full bathroom upstairs has a cast iron clawfoot tub with a shower. Located on the front of the house, the quaint 3-season porch is the perfect place to unwind while you enjoy a summer evening. The basement is poured concrete with a new water heater in 2020, and is plumbed for a bathroom. The level yard stretches back to Bloomington St. and is perfect for outdoor gatherings. The detached garage is accessible from Bloomington and does hold a car but also offers plenty of storage for all of your outdoor tools & gear. There is a working wood-burning stove in the garage making it a usable space throughout the winter.

RS8
Medium Density Single-Family Residential Zone
The purpose of the medium density single-family residential zone RS-8 is primarily to provide for the development of small lot single-family dwellings. The regulations are intended to create, maintain, and promote livable neighborhoods. The regulations allow for some flexibility of dwelling types to provide housing opportunities for a variety of household types. Special attention should be given to site design to ensure the development of quality neighborhoods. Nonresidential uses and structures permitted in this zone should be planned and designed to be compatible with the character, scale, and pattern of the residential development.
