Six miles north of Iowa City, this architectural gem by Bill Nowysz sits on 3.02 acres. The home’s soaring design on its natural site is unforgettable. One is surrounded by maple, stainless steel, ceramic tile, multifaceted lighting, & walls ideal for art. The home’s privacy & natural views are enhanced by well-designed landscape features, incl pocket gardens & a large limestone fountain. A fenced-in vegetable garden & garden shed complete the architect’s vision. A neighborhood common area is a stocked pond. The home’s 5,776 sq ft are heated/cooled by energy-efficient twin geothermal systems. Its 3-car garage faces a large, heated parking area. The home is accessible w/ wide doors, no main-level steps, & an elevator to all 3 levels. Great Room windows top 25 ft and 2 rows are cobalt-colored glass, a motif repeated throughout the rooms on the main & 2nd levels. A horizontally striated limestone fireplace anchors the Great Room, whose space combines angles & light for a cathedral-like effect. Gleaming maple floors flow from the Great Room to the dining area & into the well-equipped kitchen, breakfast area, & large pantry/mudroom. The main level’s primary BR’s bath has stainless-steel sinks, shower, soaking tub & connects to a sitting/exercise room. A library/office has a wide view of the limestone fountain.
