1928 was quite a year: penicillin was discovered, Mickey Mouse was born, and this stately country manor was built by famed architect Mark Anthony on a hillside overlooking the Iowa River and beautiful downtown Iowa City. Built to last from brick and stone, this home is ready for you to take it to its next 100 years. The main floor boasts multi use rooms with walnut trim, arched doorways, and French doors. The kitchen has upgraded plumbing with fabulous appliances including high end 36" range. The large bright reception hall/living room off the foyer has an Italian marble fireplace. The wood paneled librar ywith a rustic woodburning fireplace could easily act as a main floor bedroom or den. You'll also find a powder room and access to the private elevated patio, perfect for watching the sunset over the river valley below. The second floor has two full baths and four generous bedrooms, two with attached sitting rooms. Pull-down stairs access the breathtaking unfinished attic with a soaring cathedral ceiling, ready to be finished into a spectacular living space or primary bedroom, your choice. The basement is workshop ready with 220V curcuits, plenty of storage, laundry and door to the attached oversized two-car garage. Situated on over half an acre and set back from the road, there is both privacy and plenty of room to roam.
