Property Description

1928 was quite a year: penicillin was discovered, Mickey Mouse was born, and this stately country manse was built by famed architect Mark Anthony on a hillside overlooking the Iowa River and beautiful downtown Iowa City. Built to last from brick and stone, this home is ready for you to take it to its next 100 years. The main floor boasts walnut trim, arched doorways and French doors, an updated kitchen and delightful views to the southwest. There's a large bright reception hall/living room off the foyer and a serious wood paneled library or den as well - both with rustic woodburning fireplaces. You'll also find a powder room and access to the private elevated patio, perfect for watching the sunset over the river valley below. The second floor has two full baths and four generous bedrooms, two with attached sitting rooms, and pull-down stairs to access the breathtaking unfinished attic with a soaring cathedral ceiling, ready to be finished into a spectacular ballroom or primary bedroom, your choice. The basement has plenty of storage and work space with a wine room, half bath, laundry and door to the attached oversized two-car garage. Situated on over half an acre and set back from the road, there is perfect privacy and plenty of room to roam.
