About this home
Single Family · Built 1923 · Historic
Spacious multi-level home with major mechanical updates in Northwest Cedar Rapids. This unique property offers a flexible 4-bedroom layout, including a finished and insulated attic that serves as a private primary bedroom. Additional bedrooms on the main level provide functional living space, while the unfinished basement includes a non-conforming bedroom area and room for storage or future use. Significant recent improvements include a new roof (2021) and a brand-new furnace (2025), with central air less than 10 years old—addressing the most expensive ownership items and offering peace of mind for the next owner. Detached garage and yard complete the property. Seller has completed a Home Transparency Report®, including a pre-market home inspection. Known items have been disclosed and reflected in the list price. Property is offered as-is. A strong opportunity for buyers seeking space, major system updates, and the ability to add cosmetic improvements over time in an established NW neighborhood. Property Improvements: - New Roof - 2021 - New Furnace - 2025 - New Detached Garage - 2024
