Property Description
Welcome to this classic home in The Uplands, where timeless character meets desirable updates. Picture yourself relaxing on the inviting front porch, greeting neighbors in one of Peoria's most beloved neighborhoods. Inside, beautifully preserved hardwood floors, crown molding, original woodwork, a fireplace, and a picture window with leaded glass create warmth and charm. The dining room, accented by a built-in buffet and plate rail, flows effortlessly into the updated kitchen through a breakfast bar, featuring crisp white cabinetry, marble countertops, subway tile backsplash, and a pantry/drop zone that leads to the fenced backyard and patio. This home has thoughtfully open living spaces decorated with today's style while keeping the home's original character, creating a welcoming blend of historic charm and modern living. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, an updated full bath, and a bright sunroom. The finished attic offers a fourth bedroom plus a versatile bonus room perfect as a walk-in closet, dressing room, office, nursery, or creative space. The finished basement expands your living area with a family room, second full bath, and laundry room. Enjoy added peace of mind with valuable recent improvements, including new plumbing in the upstairs bath, basement finishing with new drywall and carpet, waterproofed walls, dewatering system, sump pump, and a new basement shower. Two-car detached garage. All appliances stay, but are not warranted. Love Where You Live.
