737 Walker Cir, Iowa City $349,700

Open house this Saturday, March 23 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.

Few homes highlight vintage style as dramatically as this. An updated interpretation of the traditional craftsman style, the home's distinctive crown-molding and wide trim complement today's material trends, including the modern detailing of mosaic glass tile, rectangular ceramic tile, and solid granite countertops. This home's transitional design strives for a perfect blend of old and new, formal and informal, cozy living and open entertainment space. The trim is painted in an alabaster white to complement subtle earth-tone walls. 'If the trim were stained, it would have been a much more contemporary house,' says Amy, the home's designer and Project Manager with the Peninsula Development Company. 'We didn't want modern materials to compete with the traditional design. And although the architectural detailing is consistent throughout the house, we have staged the interior with a variety of furniture styles, from chaises to modern sectionals.'

Highlighted by cherry floors, cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen is a focal point from both the living room and the dining area. An island offers plenty of room as a breakfast bar, or for a buffet line during large gatherings. The dining area overlooks the deck and backyard through sliding glass doors.
