COMPLETE TOWNHOUSE REMODEL: A true down-to-the-studs renovation, this townhome has been completely rebuilt from within—reimagined for modern living with a sharp eye for design and detail. Every surface, system, and finish has been thoughtfully curated, blending clean contemporary trends with timeless craftsmanship. Soaring ceilings on the main and lower levels create an immediate sense of volume, while vaulted upper-level ceilings add drama. Rare solid construction sets this property apart, with concrete demising walls between units providing enhanced privacy, superior sound insulation, and added energy efficiency—an uncommon upgrade in townhome living. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main and upper levels, complemented by beautifully tiled baths. Custom mushroom-toned cabinetry and painted millwork pair seamlessly with 8-foot interior doors, drawing the eye upward and emphasizing the impressive ceiling heights. The kitchen is a showpiece—wrapped in quartz surfaces and bathed in natural light from a bay-window setting—complete w/ striking appliances, elevated lighting, & curated hardware selections. Design moments continue: a built-in dining banquette, moody designer wallpaper accents, & a lower-level dry bar w/ bev. refrigerator. Outdoors, enjoy a spacious patio & fenced area. Show-home featured in the Remodelers Parade.
Peninsula Area, located between the Iowa River and City Park, is a residential and university-adjacent Iowa City neighborhood with leafy river edges and walkable cultural anchors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Park Road corridor by City Park, where trail traffic, picnic lawns, and game-day footpaths set the daily rhythm. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century homes and compact apartments, with porches and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Hancher Auditorium and the University of Iowa Museum of Art act as marquee cultural touchpoints nearby. The Iowa River Trail frames the geography with long, flat routes for walking and biking. Cafés and small eateries along Dubuque Street add a low-key, lived-in feel.

Low Density Single-Family Residential Zone
The low density single-family residential zone RS-5 is primarily intended to provide housing opportunities for individual households. The regulations are intended to create, maintain, and promote livable neighborhoods. The regulations allow for some flexibility of dwelling types to provide housing opportunities for a variety of household types. This zone also allows for some nonresidential uses that contribute to the livability of residential neighborhoods, such as parks, schools, religious institutions, and daycare facilities. Related nonresidential uses and structures should be planned and designed to be compatible with the character, scale, and pattern of the residential development.
