Property description
From the moment you step inside, this home just feels right. Set on a 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, both fully renovated with clean, modern finishes. The kitchen has been freshly painted and features a large pantry, cozy gas fireplace, and a custom coffee bar that adds both charm and everyday function. Additional updates include a new roof on both the house and detached garage, newer windows, fresh paint, and a new water heater. Outside, a mature oak tree anchors the space, and the expansive backyard offers room to relax or entertain. With a garden shed, a separate driveway leading to the heated two-stall garage, and the park just across the road, this home offers easy living in a great Ely location with quick access to Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, all within the College Community School District.
