    What's special

    Occupying the top two levels of Plaza Towers, this penthouse crowns the building that reshaped Iowa City's skyline. Two elevators open into a private lobby on the 13th floor, serving a residence that spans nearly 4,300 finished square feet inside and 2,000 square feet outside across four terraces and two long balconies. Two stories of glass wrap the great room, where polished concrete floors run beneath a ceiling that climbs the full height of both levels and two open riser staircases rise toward the mezzanine. Glass railed walkways overlook the space below and lead to two bedroom suites, each with a private bath and its own wall of windows, plus a study and a corridor library shelved floor to ceiling. The custom Bulthaup kitchen, made in Germany, anchors the plan with three long islands, flat panel cabinetry, integrated appliances, and double wall ovens. A retractable opaque glass wall can divide the kitchen, ideal for catered events. Views reach in every direction, from the Old Capitol and the Pentacrest to the rooftops of downtown and the hills beyond. Held as two condominiums, 1301 and 1302, the floor can be divided into separate residences, though the volume and sight lines read best undivided. Above downtown Iowa City's cultural and academic core, this is a two level penthouse at a scale the market rarely sees.
