Rare opportunity to own a home at Crown Colony. Small townhome community overlooking the city skyline sits on the bluff south of Gray's Lake. Association runs w/the homeowners' best interests in mind; self-managed, your yard is YOUR yard, you can plant in it/design the space as you wish. Rentals not allowed. Your neighbor is your neighbor, not an Airbnb. Four acres of community space, tree canopy & Iowa prairie to explore daily (prescribed burn for those native flowers & plants just this week!) A quiet, hidden gem tucked in the timber above Thomas Beck Rd on a private street + cul de sac. Desirable location is putting it mildly! Front row seats to city life, lake life, new bike paths, ICON water trails + the new mixed-use urban-green neighborhood plans. Inside be greeted to a home that has been updated throughout. New carpet + hardwood floors feel just amazing underfoot. New countertops with veiny character, charming butler station w/shelving, bathroom updates, lighting, mirrors, hardware, fresh paint ... so many renovations! Upstairs accommodates 3 bedrooms + 1 office, an oversized primary ensuite + laundry. Downstairs basement is finished w/daylight windows, 3/4 bath + a unique concrete construction ceiling perfect for safety + reducing noise. Main floor the garage is just steps from the kitchen, southern exposure windows to the living room, fireplace and a supersize deck with framed views of the downtown skyline. This home is a nature lover's dream location.
