Property Description

Perched on a 2.33-acre lot overlooking a picturesque landscape, this iconic Usonian home was designed by architect Roland Wehner as his personal residence With its striking geometric lines and expansive views of the surrounding ravines, valley, and Rapid Creek, this property is a rare find. Listed as the Roland and Marilyn Wehner House on the National Register of Historic Places, this home is a masterpiece. The current owners have meticulously maintained the property while adding their own touches to create an enchanting outdoor living space. In 2021 they added an in-ground heated saltwater pool and a large patio, setting the scene for entertaining while taking in stunning vistas. Uplighting on surrounding trees creates a majestic setting when paired with multi-colored pool lights. An infrared sauna was installed to repurpose an old photography darkroom. Also, a hot tub has been added along the side of the home. In an effort to enhance the longevity of this home, the owners also moved the overhead electrical service underground to help improve reliability and enhance aesthetics. A detached garage was also added west of the Carport. Feeling it was important to continue a strong legacy of design, the owners collaborated with Wehner on the plans. Sided with salvaged decking from Art Building West on the University of Iowa Campus, the detached garage reflects the hexagonal design theme while aiding in storage. Upon entering the foyer, the open-riser hexagonal stairway immediately captures your attention, leading to three levels of living connected by a thread of beautiful geometric shapes. Based on an equilateral triangle module, the home is filled with hexagon-shaped rooms, each with its own unique character and purpose. Located just off the foyer are a full guest bath and a mudroom area with ample storage and access to the carport. As you ascend to the upper level, you'll be greeted by an outstanding formal living and dining room, showcasing intricate geometric ceiling details and providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Adding to the natural tones of the space, a limestone accent wall complete with geodes creates a stunning centerpiece in the formal living area. The limestone is a recurring motif throughout the home, sourced from Stone City, Iowa. A triangular balcony is accessed from the upper living area and reminds one of being on a ship's bow. A comfortable office is also located on the upper level. As you descend the stairwell, you'll find yourself presented with two options: either continue down to the home's everyday gathering space or make your way to the bedroom wing. The gathering space comprises the family room, kitchen, and walkout access to a large patio with a winding stone path leading to the pool. The current owners installed a gas fireplace in the family room area, adding a dramatic flare to the limestone wall on this level. Vintage vinyl hexagonal tile is used throughout this area and has been maintained in an effort to preserve the timelessness of the home's design. While making your way down the long hallway of the bedroom wing, you'll notice unique ceiling panels and ample closet storage, originally designed to fit banker box-sized boxes. This section of the home boasts three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious and private primary with an ensuite bath. A full guest bath is available for the additional bedrooms. This thoughtful wing, added and designed by Wehner during his ownership, ensures storage space is maximized without compromising on the aesthetic beauty of the home. In short, this emblematic property holds architectural history and has the perfect blend of style, comfort, and versatility. With its stunning timeless design and beautiful outdoor spaces, this property captivates the hearts of all who enter its doors.
