About this home

Enjoy the privacy of a secluded dead-end street while being conveniently located on Peru's north side. This attractive Colonial-style home sits on four city lots and offers exceptional indoor and outdoor space. The maintenance-free exterior features vinyl siding, aluminum-wrapped trim, and thermal-pane windows. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room with a striking brick fireplace and an open floor plan connecting the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with newer black stainless-steel appliances and ample storage. Three bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, and a versatile upper-level bonus area provide flexibility for today's lifestyle needs. The enclosed porch, complete with a gas heater and window air conditioner, makes an ideal family room, hobby room, office, or recreation space. Outside, the large, fenced yard offers endless possibilities, while both an attached 2-car garage and an additional detached garage provide abundant parking and storage. This rare property combines privacy, space, and versatility, all on an oversized four-lot setting.
