...There is nothing like this truly rare and special offering, a prime example of midcentury-modernism. Located up a private drive on old farmland off Tower Rd, light streams in from abundant large windows of this updated modernist home, one of the first built in Lincoln.

The indoor-outdoor relationship and views are nothing short of Zen perfection. Paths guide you through native plantings, and a wooded hill provides serenity. The upper floor contains a front-to-back primary suite with a recently renovated bathroom. The spacious walk-in shower is bathed in natural light from a skylight. There is an additional bedroom, another recently renovated full bath, and an office on this floor.

The main level has a flowing open plan. The most recent addition renovated and opened the kitchen into an eat-in/lounge area centered on the house’s second fireplace. The windows are double-paned, and the house is turnkey move-in condition. Enjoy drinks on the screened porch with soaring ceilings. A two-car carport contains plentiful storage closets, and there are two additional freestanding sheds designed to fit the architecture.

The Cyrus Murphy House, named for the architect who designed it for his own family, was expanded by renowned modernist Lincoln architect Henry Hoover and a 2005 addition from Gary Wolf Architects. The stewardship of the move-in-ready house has been impeccable. The current owners bought it from Hoover’s daughter and son-in-law, who enjoyed the property for decades.
