Situated within a twenty-minute stroll from Carver Hawkeye Arena, UIHC, Kinnick Stadium, and the heart of downtown Iowa City, this mid-century modern ranch in Manville Heights bristles with untapped potential and distinct character. The formal living room, with hardwood floors and large windows, is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with stone surround. A retro kitchen with well-maintained original cabinetry and unique grilling-nook adjoins the dining area. The main-level has two bedrooms, both with hardwood floors, and a commodious full bath. A family room, created from the original garage space, enhances the main-floor living space. An expansive recreation room with ten-foot ceilings, bedroom, full bath, versatile workshop space, and bonus room are located on the lower level. An additional room in the basement offers flexible space for myriad uses. This home is an opportunity to meld new dreams with perennial charm.
