Pristine example of early modern architecture in the manner of Frank Lloyd Wright. Family home of renowned Iowa architect George R. Laub, designed in 1952 and constructed in 1953. (All renderings and building plans, including plumbing and electrical, will convey to new owner.) Interior design is a fanciful blend of natural materials: Mankato marble, Roman brick, quarry tile, light and dark wood, with accents of glass and wrought iron. Exterior design is a tasteful interplay of brick, stone and cedar, featuring multiple roof elevations, wide overhangs, and corner windows, hallmarks of Laub-designed residences. Over 3,100 sq. ft. of living space, with 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths on main level, and semi-private in-law suite with 3/4 bath on upper level. Recent updates, which have not adulterated the original design, include new high-quality carpet, 52-gallon hot water heater, and sump pump, in 2008, and new high-efficiency 4-zone gas-fired boiler, and new 60-mil 4,900 sq. ft. rubberized roof in 2009. Exterior and interior painting in progress.
Other notable features:
- Concealed radiant hot water heating system, including in-floor heat in main bath.
- Two masonry fireplaces: Mankato marble in living room, Roman brick in upper level, plus outdoor barbeque on porch.
- Numerous built-ins: buffet, bookshelves, dressers, radio and phonograph, and filing cabinets and safe in office.
- Large kitchen with built-in appliances, and breakfast room.
- 150’ x 150’ corner lot, underground drainage system, landscaping accented by stone walls, semi-circular paved driveway.
- Partial basement designed as fallout shelter, with poured concrete walls and ceiling, and sealed glass block windows.
- Original double-pane Pella windows.
- Ample closets and storage.
- Natural wood throughout, custom cabinetry.
- Structurally unsurpassed: concealed steel I-beams provide open, spacious interior. Elaborate roof system consists of 2” x 12” rafters.
- Copper gutters and downspouts.
