Description

Awesome INVESTMENT opportunity! Historic home overlooks Illinois River! This 6-Bedrm 2-story dates back to the 1700s, but is in surprisingly solid and sound structural condition. Originally a duplex, easily returned to such for double the rental income! Or make it one big home to flip! Ready for drywall, cosmetic updates, and the attic can even be finished for more living space. 2 furnaces, 2 kitchens, 2 bathrooms.

    "Schools are great! City puts on great summer camps each year. It’s fairly safe for teen/tweens to walk around to parks and school with friends."

    "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."
