230 Bever Lane Se
Cedar Rapids, IA 52403

Some homes are built. This one was crafted. An O'Dell Construction original, owned and lovingly maintained by its original owners and built as a spec home featured in the 1992 Parade of Homes, 230 Bever Ln SE is the rare offering where pride of ownership shows in every detail. Set on just under an acre in one of Cedar Rapids' most desirable southeast-side neighborhoods, its 4,666 finished square feet were designed to be genuinely lived in, with the signature Palladian arched window that graces nearly every room flooding the home with natural light from morning to evening. Step through the front door and the home makes its impression instantly:...read more rich hardwood floors, solid oak millwork and six-panel oak doors, and ceilings that soar to dramatic vaults in the signature spaces and hold a gracious 9 feet everywhere else. The vaulted living room invites you to gather around a gas fireplace framed in black marble and custom floor-to-ceiling built-ins, while the formal dining room, finished with professionally hand-painted faux walls and ceiling and crown molding, was made for the holidays youll host for years to come. At the heart of the home, a nearly 23-foot kitchen with white floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, dark granite, a gas-cooktop island, and a solid-oak-shelved pantry flows effortlessly into the room everyone falls for: a four-season sunroom wrapped on three walls in windows, opening to the deck through two sets of sliding doors. Its the spot youll claim for quiet morning coffee and easy evenings that drift outdoors. Nearby, a vaulted office with its own Palladian window makes working from home a pleasure. Tucked privately away, the primary suite is a true retreat: an enormous bedroom with serene backyard views, a boutique walk-in closet with custom solid oak shelving and a window bench, and a spa-caliber bath where a jetted corner tub overlooks the tree canopy and an oversized doorless shower waits at the end of a long day. A main-floor laundry and half bath put everyday living comfortably within reach. Plush carpet runs throughout the homes carpeted spaces and has been pet-free since installation, a welcome detail for allergy-conscious buyers. Then theres the space that truly sets this home apart. Added in 2009 and built by Sattler, a nearly 25-by-41-foot entertainment wing, with its own entrance, wet bar, and room for lounging, games, and guests, lives as a complete hosting retreat, with the flexibility to become a mother-in-law suite without ever entering the main home. Below it, a spacious 4-car drive-under garage joins the attached 3-stall to deliver a remarkable 7 covered stalls, with room for a boat, the cars, and a workshop. The finished lower level adds a rec room, two bedrooms with walk-in closets, and two full baths, while a framed-in conforming fourth bedroom with egress window in place offers ready upside. Best of all, this home simply takes care of you. A whole-home Generac generator, irrigation system, security alarm, and centra
