About This Home

ENCHANTING VINTAGE HOME, STEEPED IN HISTORY. Nestled on a hillside, this distinctive 1929 stone home with green glazed tile roof and seven gables offers panoramic vistas of City Park and the Dubuque St area. The charming exterior with hand cut field stone of varying sizes and colors and notable arched front door welcomes you to a prize Iowa City home. The vestibule leads to the spacious main living room with original floor to ceiling stone fireplace as the centerpiece and wood beams above. Arched French doors access the library trimmed with Iowa black walnut and featuring its own fireplace. Additional French doors enter the window-lined solarium with authentic tile flooring. Original features are highlighted in the main bathroom with period tile and fixtures, light fixtures throughout including living room and dining room sconces and 1920s glass doorknobs. The eat-in kitchen has practical workspace and the multi-colored tiled floor emulates the solarium flooring. Rare opportunity to acquire an historical home surrounded by 1.73 acres of woods and open ground, owned by two families. Quote from Joe Coulter, “Environment and preserving culture, it just all goes together.” (paraphrased). Estate Sale, sold "As Is". Please allow 48 hrs for response to offers.
