Immaculately maintained and thoughtfully designed, this like-new home offers more than new construction, without the wait, and at a better value. The sellers are relocating, and their move creates a unique opportunity for you: this home is priced below comparable new construction and even less than the sellers originally paid.
An abundance of natural light fills every corner, with large windows throughout the main level creating a bright, airy atmosphere that enhances the open-concept layout. You'll find 9' ceilings throughout and a tray ceiling in the living room, complemented by rear stairs and a custom railing that adds both style and function. The kitchen features 42" upper cabinets and flows effortlessly into the living area—perfect for a built-in bar setup. A walk-in pantry, drop zone, and laundry room are smartly positioned off the garage for everyday convenience.
The interior boasts a neutral color palette that provides a warm, modern backdrop—easy to personalize and perfectly suited to a wide range of decorating styles. The finished lower level includes a spacious rec room, additional bedroom, and full bathroom—ideal for guests, entertaining, or extra living space. Nestled in the vibrant small-town community of Mt. Vernon, known for its character and scenic beauty, this home offers the perfect balance of peaceful living with convenient access to both Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.
Enjoy outdoor privacy with no backyard neighbors, providing a peaceful retreat right outside your door.
