Property Description

This iconic Iowa City historical home on Summit Street was renovated while preserving sought-after authentic details like original, exterior five-pointed star bolts and areas of hardwood flooring running on the diagonal. This all-brick home with vintage exterior woodwork, floor-to-ceiling windows flanking the front door, a chimney on each end of the house, and an expansive front porch, is a testament to symmetrical design standing the test of time. Margaret N. Keyes reports in her book Nineteenth Century Home Architecture of Iowa City the property was built as a farmhouse beyond city limits and is the earliest home on South Summit Street. Here is a chance to take part in classic legacy. A large front lawn ushers you to a covered front porch, with blue-painted ceiling, in harmony with lush, floral surroundings. The front door, complete with mechanical doorbell, opens to a spacious main-floor living plan not commonly found in classic, original homes. The living room offers multiple possibilities for sitting and reading areas. A formal dining area with a distinctive bay window is open to the living room. The main-floor family room, with built-in bookshelves and storage cabinets, also opens to the living room. The flow of the house is both leisurely and intentional. At the back of the home is a gorgeous kitchen designed with purpose. An island with a kitchen sink affords prep space, the wall of built-in cabinets offers plentiful storage, and major appliances are placed to maximize countertop areas and blend with the overall airy aesthetic. Creative spaces exist thanks to glass doors on upper cabinets, a nook in the built-in, and a cabinet top adjoining the windowsill. Natural light abounds throughout the home, and the kitchen is no exception, thanks to a seamless den addition designed by architect Sue Licht in 1994. The den overlooks a grassy backyard, and casement windows without center bars offer unobstructed views. A peaked ceiling design combined with the numerous windows and a glass exterior door brings volume to the vaulted space. The den is open to the kitchen and has plenty of room for a breakfast table and working desk. The main floor also includes a powder room, laundry closet, and access to the unfinished basement. A small back deck area, ideal for grilling, is reached from the den or a convenient hallway. Steps from the back deck lead to the driveway and backyard. A beautiful open stairwell with woodwork details accentuates the uncommonly high ceilings of the main living areas. The stairs lead to a spacious landing and accommodate yet-another sitting space. The upstairs has three bedrooms, two of which have en suite baths. The primary bedroom is quite large and has generous closet storage. The primary’s en suite bath has a spacious spa tub, a standalone glass-enclosed shower, and custom vanity. A bedroom at the front of the home offers lovely views of Summit Street, with three large sash windows. The third bedroom is tucked away and accessed by passing through a cozy bookcase nook area and has beautiful views of the backyard, and boasts an en suite bath complete with a claw-foot tub. This is a rare opportunity to own a unique and meticulously cared-for piece of Iowa history. 2017: High-efficiency Lennox HVAC and AC condenser with remote access installed. 2019: Reshingled house and addition, several built-in gutters rebuilt, K-gutter system on addition installed. 2021: New leaders/K-gutters post Derecho. 2022: Reshingled Addition. GE Profile refrigerator with casework details, GE Profile oven, GE Profile gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, GE washer (2022) and dryer, One-car detached garage with automatic overhead door.
