Midcentury ranch in Manville Heights, close to Hancher Auditorium, City Park, Iowa Health Care’s main hospital, the VA, the UI medical campus, and the pedestrian bridges to downtown Iowa City. The handsome brick exterior, with timeless awnings and subtle midcentury detailing, opens to a main living area that runs the width of the home. Connected living and dining spaces, LVP floors over concrete, a broad picture window, and a stone fireplace wall give the room its character. French doors lead to a concrete patio with stone table and low stone knee walls, while a stone path continues to a separate masonry firepit area. A screened porch sits just off the living area. The kitchen was remodeled by McDonough Structures in 2006 and stands apart, with extensive cabinetry, curved lines, an island with integrated range, and an adjacent eat-in area. Windows over the sink and a large picture window look out to a fenced side garden with a meandering stone path. Three bedrooms are located on the main, including one currently used as a den. The full bath and two main level full baths retain vintage tile. A mudroom and breezeway connect to the two-car garage and provide access to the 1-bedroom, 1-bath studio apartment above. The lower level includes a family room, an additional bedroom, full bath, bonus space, and two unfinished storage areas.
