Single Family Residence in IowaCity, IA

Unassuming from the street, this east-side home reveals a thoughtfully designed interior centered around a rare and highly functional feature: a private elevator serving each level of the home. Extensively remodeled in 2010 by Rob Phipps, the renovation reimagined the layout with long-term livability in mind and introduced a vaulted living room that establishes immediate volume and light. A double-sided glass fireplace connects the living and dining spaces without interrupting flow. The kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, integrated display shelving, and a substantial island that provides both structure and functionality. A Viking gas range with professional hood, generous work surfaces, and thoughtful storage make the space equally suited for serious cooking and gathering. Hardwood floors run continuously through the main living areas, reinforcing the home’s cohesive design. The primary suite includes an ensuite with a zero-step shower. The lower level offers a large family room with wet bar, full bath, two additional bedrooms, elevator access, and a workshop with double doors to the backyard. Set on a spacious cul-de-sac lot with a large yard and deck. Furnace, air conditioning, and water heater replaced in 2025.
