Property Description

Discover a one-of-a-kind residence in the heart of Cedar Falls that was built ahead of its time with smart energy efficiency, resilient infrastructure, and refined upgrades that make it both functional and beautiful. Welcome to 2310 Yorkshire Drive, a home originally crafted in 1984 by an Iowa State physics graduate and Cedar Falls High School Physics instructor who poured his knowledge and passion into every inch of its design. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home stands apart from typical construction. From its very core, it was engineered for energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The south-facing solarium spans the back of the home with large windows designed to capture passive solar heat in winter. The corrugated concrete within the solarium increases surface area for radiant heat absorption—providing warmth in colder months, naturally. Originally built without central air, the home instead relied on a wood-burning fireplace and supplemental baseboard heat. The home features R-80 attic insulation and R40 wall insulation —double the code minimum—keeping your climate consistent year-round while drastically reducing utility costs. You'll also notice the absence of ceiling penetrations and all ceiling fixtures run in wire mold. This intentional choice limits air leakage into the attic, preserving thermal performance throughout the year. This home was built to last. With 1-1/4" thick cedar siding, and 8" thick exterior walls made up of two 2x4 walls with an insulating air gap, providing a full thermal break in the home with zero cold joints. You'll notice deeply recessed window and door jambs, every detail speaks to durability and thoughtful energy design in the home. The solid construction provides not just energy efficiency but also enhanced soundproofing and structural integrity rarely seen in modern builds. The home is very quiet with a beautiful view out the back where past home owners have witness deer and wildlife in the mornings without any back yard neighbors. The most recent owner was a professional home builder who has continued the legacy of care and quality the home deserves. Major updates include: New Marvin windows and exterior doors for enhanced performance and style New gutters, soffit, and exterior paint to preserve the timeless cedar façade with a modern upgrade New composite deck paired with a stunning 34'x16' stamped concrete patio—perfect for entertaining or enjoying quiet evenings in your private backyard oasis A fully finished basement (2019) that added a fourth oversized bedroom/movie room with egress, a new laundry/bathroom, and its own electrical sub panel for additional electrical needs for the modern era. Additional Highlights: Over 2,400 finished SF of living space Brand new front patio and electrical fireplace/mantle 20'x12' back deck for elevated outdoor living Spacious quarter-acre lot with mature trees Oversized two-stall attached garage As the upcoming fourth homeowner, you’ll be joining a special lineage of homeowners who have treasured this home—not just for how it looks, but for how intelligently it performs. Whether you’re energy-conscious, detail-oriented, or simply value high-quality construction, 2310 Yorkshire Dr is an investment in craftsmanship and comfort that will serve you for decades to come.
