Description

Looking for a great first home or investment property? Look no further than this completely remodeled 2 bedroom 1 bath home in the heart of Peru. As you approach the front door, you'll notice the pristine landscaping around the front of the home to compliment the large open front porch where you can sit and enjoy quiet mornings or wind down at the end of a long day. Enter the front door where you'll be greeted by new flooring and paint throughout the main level along with vaulted ceilings to highlight the charm of an early 1900's home. The kitchen and bath have been remodeled head to toe. Upstairs, you'll find the two bedrooms with new carpet, lighting and paint. One of the best parts of this home is the location. You can walk one block west and enjoy the 5 star East End Double Dip ice cream parlor. Whether you're looking for ice cream, a drink, or a bite to eat, you'll always be within walking distance to this great local establishment. It's time to call this place your home.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from September 26, 2024

    "The streets here are very friendly and good for walking dogs at any time of the day, or night. However, there are a LOT of stray cats, so if your dog is a cat chaser you may need to keep him/her on a tight leash. And keep them up to date with vaccinations. "
