About This Home
Manville Heights gem with extensive upgrades honor the quality-first approach in the superior build used to construct the property. Prominently positioned at the corner of Rocky Shore Drive & River Street, with water views. Walking distance to Iowa Health Care main campus, elementary school, UI Athletics + more. In 2000, a massive ICF addition was added to expand the footprint of the original 1940's home. The result of the first addition is three floors providing energy efficiency that delivers thermal performance year-round + structural integrity far beyond wood framing. 2007, brought a sky loft addition with expansive water views for enjoying every season. Property upgrades, to name a few, include; new metal roof, new deck, professional landscaping, new stone stairs, replacement of every original window to ensure maintained energy efficiency, new hardwood floors in the sky loft, custom trim work + fresh granite countertops throughout. Each improvement reflects a commitment to lasting value and natural materials, ensuring proper air quality in the residence. A separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath suite in the 1940's part of the home includes a living area and full kitchen. This income producing suite is currently a top rated Airbnb.
