Description

Much love and care shows in this affordable home that overlooks the Illinois River valley! Brand new bathroom added on, built new-from the foundation to the roof! New concrete driveway, new sidewalks and 2 new patios! Newer A/C unit 2021. Plenty of parking on this quiet, end street. Yard was regraded and trees trimmed all by local contractors. Attached one car garage has new headers that were installed in 2023 along with a new door & opener. Plenty of storage in the garage with room for tinkering! Inside, the versatile bonus room with main-level laundry offers endless flexibility-home office, playroom, or even a main-floor bedroom, as these sellers used it for. Move in time to host your big party for America's 250th birthday! Watch Peru's fireworks from your new home and enjoy the seasonal views with front row seats!

    "I have lived in the area for 5 years and I love that literally EVERYTHIMG is a short walk or drive away. It has warm small town feel with the benifit of all of the larger town and city stores, restaurants and entertainment. Great place to retire or raise a family and the cost of living is far less compared to other areas. "

    " I've lived in the area most of my life, hope to retire to Peru. I only wish the city fathers would take pedestrians and bicycles into account. Not many sidewalks, NO bike paths, and pets are not allowed in parks, except for the Dog Park, which is just a small fenced in area. If you want to walk to the mall or shopping area, you are putting your life in the hands of hurried drivers. It is nearly impossible to cross Rt. 251. On the good side, you could live your entire life here and never have to leave town. It really is a full service community, you just have to use your car to get around."
