COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE IN THE PENINSULA NEIGHBORHOOD. On a corner lot in the diverse and popular Peninsula Neighborhood, 1587 Foster Road presents a two-story vintage-designed colonial home with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths on 3 finished levels. The front of the home faces the woods, and its large front porch is perfect for relaxation and neighborhood interactions. The private, fenced back yard between the garage and the house offers gracious outdoor dining and entertainment space as well as a garden/lawn spot. Solidly built in 2006 and EXTENSIVELY REMODELED IN 2017, this home is filled with natural light reflecting on hardwood floors in the open main living area. Highlights: gas fireplace with elegant surround, designer light fixtures, tiled baths, 15x15-sq-ft. primary bedroom whose bath has soaking tub and tiled shower, quartz countertops in kitchen and baths, strategically placed darkening shades and plantation shutters, lower-level wet-bar gathering spot with French-door refrigerator and counter-high table and four stools, patio with natural-gas-supplied firepit, outdoor grill, picnic table under pergola, and strings of overhead party lights. There is adjacent on-street parking. A great location with easy access to outdoor activities, dog park, Peninsula and downtown amenities, and Interstate-80. If you like a neighborly, diverse, and vintage-attractive vibe, this may be the place for you. With 403 traditional homes, townhomes, and stacked flats in multilevel buildings on a sizable acreage high above a bend in the Iowa River, the PENINSULA NEIGHBORHOOD feels like a small town from an earlier time when garages were on alleys behind homes, & front porches & balconies provided social interactions with people and pets walking by.
