659 S. Governor St, Iowa City ~ Walking Distance to Downtown

659 S Governor St, Iowa City ~ 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath, One Car Detached Garage ~ SOLD $170,000

What a great little house and what a great location! We sold this one in a few days – Right after we took it off the market for the Holidays and re-listed it in the New Year! (Re-listed on January 2nd and under contract by the 9th). Yes, that’s the Iowa City market for you. Houses downtown go like hot cakes in the spring market. It can be hit or miss in Fall. 659 S Governor Iowa City (1 of 1)

The house sits on a nice, regular sized lot with a large, private backyard. It’s the second house from the end of the street on a cul-de-sac and the kids next door were playing out the front while I was there. It’s such a nice, private neighborhood it’s hard to believe how close it is to downtown! As you can see from the photos, it was vacant. I had my work cut out for me keeping it showing ready – Especially in Fall when those leaves were falling.

If you’re an out of state seller looking for a reliable and responsible Realtor to take care of all those pesky details while you’re busy doing your own thing, then give Denise a call at 319-400-0268. This is what we’re good at. Taking care of details from listing to close.
