Originally built in 1895 as the Wickham Chapel, this home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. Now a ranch-style residence, this home features three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and gorgeous hardwood flooring throughout. The inviting living room, dining area, and updated kitchen create a warm and functional layout. Brand new windows 12/24. The unfinished lower level includes a half bath and laundry area, offering additional storage or potential for future expansion. Relax on the enclosed front porch or step out back to the large, fenced-in yard, a true gardener’s paradise with raised beds, beautiful gardens, and a newer composite deck. A detached one-car garage with alley access adds convenience. Situated close to downtown Iowa City and near a bus line, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, and the University of Iowa. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with all the comforts of today!
