211 Hillcrest Drive, Oskaloosa, IA 52577 - Mahaska County

The Chuck & Emily Russell house, designed by architect George Russell & built in 1953, is an excellent & well preserved example of the Usonian residential architecture that Frank Lloyd Wright advocated for beginning in the 1930's. It exhibits Usonian design principles such as a low roof with deep overhangs, brick with raked horizontal joints, 60/120 degree angled corners, & horizontal board & batten redwood siding. Present is an open & flexible floor plan as expected, a spatial organization based on angles, use of natural material, & a relationship to the natural environment. This 4 BR, 2 bath home is perfect for entertaining family and friends. 3 locations offer expansive glass doors leading to the triangular deck, concrete patio and private enclosed patio - bringing the serene outdoors... in. It's nestled on a 1.3 acre wooded oasis offering a pond with large cypress tree & numerous other trees and bushes. The boathouse or barn & private setting are so fitting to this incredibly unique property. It received The Oskaloosa Historical Landmark Designation in 2024 as well as it's current "pending" status on the National Register of Historical Places, soon to be finalized. This BEAUTIFUL, one owner property is ready for the next chapter to be written.... Will you be the one to pick up where the Russells left off?
