Concrete floors and clean architectural lines reinforce the modern character of the home. The primary suite includes an ensuite bath with tiled shower and its own access to the balcony. A second full bath serves guests. This residence also includes one parking space in the secured underground garage. Plaza Towers residents enjoy a well appointed lobby with staffed front desk and easy access to Bread Garden Market, Formosa Sushi, a discounted membership at theGYM health club, and the restaurants and shops of downtown Iowa City.
