    What's special

    The skyline of downtown Iowa City unfolds from this corner residence in Plaza Towers, with sweeping views of the Old Capitol, the historic Hotel Jefferson, and the Pedestrian Mall. Walls of glass wrap the living spaces, filling the home with natural light and framing the city from multiple angles. Just off the main living area, a spacious private balcony overlooks downtown and extends the living space outdoors. The interior is organized around an open contemporary plan connecting the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Concrete floors and clean architectural lines reinforce the modern character of the home. The primary suite includes an ensuite bath with tiled shower and its own access to the balcony. A second full bath serves guests. This residence also includes one parking space in the secured underground garage. Plaza Towers residents enjoy a well appointed lobby with staffed front desk and easy access to Bread Garden Market, Formosa Sushi, a discounted membership at theGYM health club, and the restaurants and shops of downtown Iowa City.
