Listing Description

Historic charm with a brand-new roof and brand-new windows, just blocks from Uptown Mount Vernon. Homes like this don't come along often! Built in 1870, this 3-bedroom brick two-story has held onto its character, and the big-ticket items are already done, so you can move in and enjoy it.

Inside, hardwood floors run through two living rooms, each with its own personality. One has a crisp white beamed ceiling and room for a reading corner. The other has rich stained wood beams and is made for movie nights and slow Sunday mornings. The dining room has plenty of space for holiday tables, framed by warm wood-cased openings.

The kitchen keeps it simple and functional with white cabinets, a farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, and a stainless range hood. Upstairs, three bedrooms give everyone their own space, including one with a bold accent wall and a sloped-ceiling room that's perfect for a nursery, playroom, or home office.

A full bath, laundry, and full basement for storage round it out. Out back, the fenced yard has garden space and plenty of room for kids and pets to play, plus an attached garage. Served by Mount Vernon schools with easy access to Hwy 30, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City. Bring your own touches and make it home. Schedule your private showing today!
