Own a piece of Iowa City history with this $1.45 million home with stunning views
For one of the most spectacular views in all of Iowa City, don’t miss the opportunity to tour this grand home that sits on 1.2 acres overlooking the Iowa River, where you can watch bald eagles soar over the bluffs.
Originally designed by Chicago architect Mark Anthony — well known for his design of churches, banks and private homes — the all-brick 1930s home offers a piece of Iowa City history and privacy despite being within walking distance of downtown and the University of Iowa.
In 2012, this five-bedroom home underwent a significant addition designed by Chicago architectural firm Pappageorge Haymes and executed by McDonough Structures and Gwen Park Interiors.
The addition included the kitchen, grand room, half bath, additional attached garage, covered patio and extensive landscaping.
Recurring themes throughout the home are height on a grand scale and abundant natural light, as seen in the stunning solarium and grand room that both boast soaring ceilings and walls of windows.
Blending seamlessly the old with the new, the newly built huge chef’s kitchen marries elegance and functionality, offering plenty of workspace as well as dining and entertaining.
Next to the new kitchen is a large great room with tall ceilings, multiple light fixtures and a grand fireplace.
Five bedrooms and four full bathrooms grace this home, creating space for a large family or a welcoming place for guests.
You’ll find plenty of living areas perfect for any situation in this home that exceeds 6,000 square feet of finish.
Outside, you’ll find a massive garage and a covered patio as well as built-in outdoor grill overlooking the private backyard. The new landscaping offers outdoor living spaces ready for enjoying the seasons, relaxing or entertaining guests.
