Description

Located up a private drive on old farmland off of 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 master suite. There is an additional bedroom, full bath, and an office on this floor. The main level has a flowing open plan.

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 master suite. There is an additional bedroom, 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. Enjoy cocktails on the screen porch. A lovely jewel box, 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 house has been impeccable, by Hoover’s daughter and son-in-law for decades. A truly rare offering.
