Remodeled, 1960’s, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, nice deck. Guests will enjoy an attached 1 car garage and spacious backyard. Easy to find on the North Side of Iowa City less than a mile from I-80. Short drive to Hawkeye entertainment events and hospitals. Nestled in a friendly quiet neighborhood that provides for all your needs. Grocery store, gas stations, coffee shops, restaurants and park all nearby. Great spot for the traveler on the go. Bedrooms are average sized as was the style in the 60’s. There are 3 queen beds. Plenty of closet space for hanging clothes or storage. Clock radios, lamps, nightlights and charging stations in each bedroom. One 65” television in the living room and a smaller one in the large bedroom. LED lighted ceiling fans throughout. New appliances. Laundry room. Real hardwood floors in bedrooms. Tiled showers, keyless front entry as well as garage door keypad. 1 1/2 baths are on the main level. The other bathroom is in the basement. It is newly installed and private but the basement itself is not finished. Huge driveway for plenty of off street parking. Garage was built for 1960’s sized cars, so it is a bit short for large vehicles. Front yard is a great place to throw football or play any sport you wish. Overall I think you’ll be hard pressed to find another house this old in such great condition. You will have access to most of the house and 1 stall of the 3 car garage. Basement is unfinished and I store a lot of cleaning and work supplies in a locked storage room. I put things up and out of the way, but kids are smart be aware of them if playing in the basement. There is a door going to the basement that can be closed and locked if you need. I live just a few blocks away. As long as I’m around I can be there quickly if there’s a problem. Also have smart locks that I can open doors if you forget the code. Nice middle class neighborhood. A mixture of all ages but mostly people in their 30’s and 40’s working hard and raising good kids. Nice Quiet neighborhood. Safe to walk around and enjoy the fresh air. Parking on the street is allowed but not necessary because we have a huge driveway. Easily parks 4 cars We have a ring doorbell at the front door, a ring camera outside by the garage, and one in the backyard for security reasons. There are no cameras or listening devices inside of the house. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift (single-level property) - Smooth flooring in public areas - Step to reach entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116160000/116156800/116156714/22452061.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Steps from Kinnick, Carver & University of Iowa Hospital --- NEW LISTING --- Iowa City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 4 reviews £649 includes taxes & fees 13 Nov - 14 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=116156714&PinnedHotelID=116156714&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119570000/119564200/119564194/83ee9b35.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 400 3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Townhome in Iowa City Iowa City - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=119564194&PinnedHotelID=119564194&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118070000/118069300/118069235/7e287f39.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Downtown Iowa City - Brand New Luxury Stay Mann - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=118069235&PinnedHotelID=118069235&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109980000/109978200/109978154/3743104b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 408 Entire 3 Bedroom Townhouse Iowa City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=109978154&PinnedHotelID=109978154&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119780000/119777600/119777546/0feec06e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW!
