Property Description
Designed by renowned Iowa City architect Howard F. Moffitt, this thoughtfully updated historic home blends original character with modern comfort. Set in Iowa City's historic Longfellow neighborhood, it offers timeless architecture, thoughtful updates, and a rare opportunity to own one of Moffitt's distinctive homes. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, the property is offered with most furnishings included, making it easy to continue as a turnkey short-term rental or enjoy as a private residence. The main level features an open living and dining area with abundant natural light, a cozy fireplace, and a well-designed galley kitchen. Upstairs, a charming loft provides a flexible sitting area or non-conforming second bedroom. The lower level offers freshly painted laundry, utility, and storage space, while the attached garage provides room for a small vehicle, bikes, or additional storage.
