1674 Ridge Rd

Property Description

A home full of charm, preserved details, and a rare connection to nature awaits its next steward. Set on a serene 0.39-acre lot, this property offers tranquil wooded ravine views and backs up to 13.85 acres of preserved land, locally known as The Shimek Ravine. Inside, the 1950s character shines: the living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a striking floor-to-ceiling stone surround and expansive western-facing windows that usher in warm afternoon light. A pass-through connects the dining area to the quintessential mid-century kitchen, complete with knotty pine cabinets, retro countertops, and authentic wood paneling. Step out to the large screened back porch--accessible from both the kitchen and dining areas--to take in wooded views just moments from Downtown Iowa City. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer flexibility, including one with built-in bookshelves, perfect for an office or library. The full bath pays homage to its era with pink tile, vintage vanity lighting, and original countertops. Downstairs, a cozy family room, oversized laundry room off the garage, and unfinished spaces hint at this home's potential. This home is held by an estate and is being sold in as-is condition.
