About This Property
Historic character meets modern living in this beautifully renovated 1923 Cedar Rapids home. This was far more than a cosmetic remodel—the home was taken down to its original framing in many areas and thoughtfully rebuilt, with extensive updates including plumbing, electrical, insulation, drywall, and a redesigned floor plan, while preserving the character that makes an older home special.
Step inside to a bright, open living space featuring beautifully restored original hardwood floors and a completely updated kitchen with white cabinetry, modern finishes, and all-new stainless-steel appliances that stay with the home. The restored fireplace provides a natural focal point, finished with a one-of-a-kind custom mantel crafted from a beam salvaged from a 1912 Iowa barn.
The main level offers two bedrooms and 1½ bathrooms, along with the convenience of main-floor laundry with a new smart washer and dryer included. A finished three-season porch provides additional space for morning coffee, reading, relaxing, or entertaining.
Downstairs, the finished basement adds substantial usable living space with a large family/rec room plus a separate bonus room that works beautifully as a home office, workout space, hobby room, or non-conforming bedroom. There is also unfinished basement space for utilities and storage.
Outside, you’ll find a manageable yard and a 12’ × 18’ detached garage, providing another 216 square feet of storage and parking space.
Conveniently located approximately ½ mile from Mercy Medical Center and about 1 mile from St. Luke’s Hospital, the home offers easy access to downtown Cedar Rapids and nearby amenities.
This home blends more than a century of history with the comfort and functionality of an extensive renovation. The hard work has already been done—now it’s ready for its next owner to make it home.
