Iowa City House | G’s Home Away From Home

3 Bedroom House in Iowa City

Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space. Remodeled, 1960’s, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, nice deck. Guests will enjoy an attached 1 car garage and spacious backyard. Easy to find on the North Side of Iowa City less than a mile from I-80. Short drive to Hawkeye entertainment events and hospitals. Nestled in a friendly quiet neighborhood that provides for all your needs. Grocery store, gas stations, coffee shops, restaurants and park all nearby. Great spot for the traveler on the go.
Bedrooms are average sized as was the style in the 60’s. There are 3 queen beds. Plenty of closet space for hanging clothes or storage. Clock radios, lamps, nightlights and charging stations in each bedroom. One 65” television in the living room and a smaller one in the large bedroom. LED lighted ceiling fans throughout. New appliances. Laundry room. Real hardwood floors in bedrooms. Tiled showers, keyless front entry as well as garage door keypad. 1 1/2 baths are on the main level. The other bathroom is in the basement. It is newly installed and private but the basement itself is not finished. Huge driveway for plenty of off street parking. Garage was built for 1960’s sized cars, so it is a bit short for large vehicles. Front yard is a great place to throw football or play any sport you wish. Overall I think you’ll be hard pressed to find another house this old in such great condition.
You will have access to most of the house and 1 stall of the 3 car garage. Basement is unfinished and I store a lot of cleaning and work supplies in a locked storage room. I put things up and out of the way, but kids are smart be aware of them if playing in the basement. There is a door going to the basement that can be closed and locked if you need.
I live just a few blocks away. As long as I’m around I can be there quickly if there’s a problem. Also have smart locks that I can open doors if you forget the code.
Nice middle class neighborhood. A mixture of all ages but mostly people in their 30’s and 40’s working hard and raising good kids.
Nice Quiet neighborhood. Safe to walk around and enjoy the fresh air. Parking on the street is allowed but not necessary because we have a huge driveway. Easily parks 4 cars
We have a ring doorbell at the front door, a ring camera outside by the garage, and one in the backyard for security reasons. There are no cameras or listening devices inside of the house.

Summary: Karen was a fantastic host! I booked this stay for business colleagues traveling with their infant and grandmother, and she went above and beyond to accommodate them. She graciously allowed an early check-in to align with the baby’s nap schedule, making their arrival much smoother. Karen was professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Summary: Our family booked a long weekend for my husband’s 50th birthday celebration. One of our daughters is a student at University of Iowa and it also happened to be their homecoming weekend. So we had plenty of activities to do in town, went to the parade and football game!! Also did an official college visit with our high school junior, she loved it!! The home was beautiful, super clean and had everything we needed!! High end finishes, gorgeous kitchen, thoughtful touches by the host such as coffee/creamer and complimentary apple cider shots. Yum! Lovely neighborhood, close by the University and plenty of shops and restaurants! Look forward to staying again in the future!!

Summary: We stayed while visiting our niece at the University of Iowa. There were 6 of us and the house was a perfect setting for our overnight trip. Easy to get to, in a nice neighborhood and super clean home. We had everything we needed at the house. Amenities were great! It was so nice being able to all stay together vs multiple over priced hotel rooms. Highly recommend this home to anyone staying in Iowa city.
