Welcome to the Mr. aka: Modern Renaissance Mid Modern Century home in Iowa City
Nestled near Iowa City, this award-winning midcentury-modern home by Crites and McConnell, originally built in 1965, has been transformed into a boutique hotel-inspired retreat. With its chic renovations and authentic architectural features, the property offers a unique blend of history, style, and modern comfort.
