This lovely home on a secluded street in the heart of the Longfellow neighborhood is quintessential Iowa City. A beautiful front lawn with established plantings welcomes you to 1133 Maple Street. The main living areas are spacious yet cozy, and a sense of connectivity runs throughout this unexpected floor plan. Authentic parquet flooring in the living room and kitchen. Enjoy walkout access to the backyard and patio from the living room. A well-sized kitchen, updated in 2017, opens to the formal dining area. A renovated full bath (2017) serves the main living areas. An outstanding and unique family room addition (2002) steals the show in this home. Enjoy the heated floor and sweeping views of the backyard with Longfellow Elementary from the family room just off the formal dining area. The upper level, with 5 bedrooms and 1 full bath with double vanity, echos the 2002 family room addition. Making the most of the addition, the primary bedroom is quite large and offers access to a spacious balcony/deck area. The four additional bedrooms on the upper level are nicely sized, and each has wonderful windows allowing for ample natural light. A laundry chute provides convenience in the upper-level bedroom. The backyard feels in harmony with this 1960s home. Established garden areas, a cute stone river with a bridge, patio, and lawn stretching towards Longfellow Elementary. Private yet moments from downtown Iowa City and neighborhood amenities, including Deluxe Bakery, Thoma’s Meat Market, and the Longfellow Nature Trail. Enjoy the best of Iowa City living from this unique and peaceful home.
