Property Description

From the moment you step inside, this home just feels right. Set on nearly 0.4-acre lot in Ely, this beautifully updated raised ranch offers over 1,800 square feet of finished living space, thoughtful updates throughout, and a setting that is hard to beat. Inside, you will find a bright and functional layout that simply works. The main level offers three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a private half bath off the primary suite, both of which have been fully renovated with clean, modern finishes. The kitchen has been freshly painted and features a large pantry, a cozy gas fireplace, and a custom coffee bar that adds both charm and function. Other updates include a new roof on both the house and detached garage, newer windows, fresh paint throughout much of the home, a new water heater, and so much more. Outside, a beautiful mature oak tree anchors the space, and the expansive backyard gives you room to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy a little extra breathing room. With a garden shed, a separate driveway leading to the detached heated two-stall garage, and the park just across the road, this setting is easy to fall in love with. This hard-to-find price point in Ely offers quick access to Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, and is located within the popular College Community School District. Don't miss out on this great home.
