Property Description

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind modern farmhouse where craftsmanship, character, and comfort come together on 2 scenic acres at the edge of town. Perfectly positioned on a main road for convenience yet surrounded by open fields, this property offers the ideal blend of accessibility and peaceful country living. Step inside to an open-concept design filled with natural light from expansive windows and grounded by rich hardwood floors throughout. The heart of the home features a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone electric fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point for gatherings. This spacious home offers 6 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, including a private upstairs suite with beautifully sourced hardwood flooring from the University of Iowa Art Department and a dedicated entertainment room. Thoughtful details are everywhere—from repurposed doors with history from the Iowa City Historical Society to custom barnboard walls and shelving that add rustic charm. The finished basement expands your living space with an open family room, vintage-style kitchen appliances, and ample storage. Whether hosting guests or creating a private retreat, this lower level is as functional as it is stylish. Outside, the property continues to impress with a 3-bay garage and a truly special backyard feature—a whimsical 100-year-old playhouse full of character and charm. With handcrafted local walnut elements throughout—including the kitchen bar, staircase, and mantle—this home is a rare blend of mode.
