Inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this mid-century modern home is a sophisticated and luxurious retreat which is architecturally incorporated into the landscape. The 1.44 acre in-town lot is quietly nestled into the hillside and surrounded by trees; every window view is picturesque. Munn Woods and it's 45 acres of trees and trails is a step away. Backing up to Emma McCarthy Lee Park provides a majestic, private, southern view of the beautifully landscaped backyard with stone wall, wood fence, and native Iowa prairie plants. A mid-mod structure situated at the back of the property would be welcoming as a guest house or a space for entertaining. The passive solar design, with southern windows and natural slate flooring, compliment the interior of the home which showcases long, clean lines. Remodeled lower level adds an additional 1,132sq ft of living space, a possible 3rd bedroom. The beauty of the redwood walls, the dual fireplace, the in-floor lower level heat and fresh air offered by the three season screen porch add to the aesthetics and uniqueness of the home.
