Property Description
The Letovsky-Rohret House, built in 1881, stands as a graceful reflection of Iowa City's architectural history. Recognized as both an Iowa City Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places, this two-story wood frame home combines elements of the Greek Revival and Italianate styles. Distinctive features include the side-gable roof, boxed cornice, tall windows, and full-width front porch. Located one block from North Market Square Park and within walking distance of the Northside Marketplace, downtown Iowa City, and Iowa Health Care's downtown medical center, the setting offers convenience within a storied neighborhood. Inside, a welcoming foyer highlights the home's attractive staircase and connects to a formal living room and dining room filled with natural light. The kitchen anchors the rear of the home, adjoining a small sunroom ideal for reading or morning coffee. Upstairs, a landing leads to two spacious bedrooms and a full bath. A one-car detached garage, built in 2007, complements this charming historic property.
