Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting yet just minutes from city conveniences, this inviting tri-level home offers the best of both worlds. Located only 2 miles off I-74 west of Peoria in the desirable Kickapoo/Edwards area, the property sits within the Elmwood and popular local attractions. Set back on a quiet street, the home is nestled on 1.68 scenic acres with mature trees, a creek, and picturesque wooded views—creating a private, nature-filled retreat. The main and upper levels feature three bedrooms, a full bathroom, a comfortable living room, and an updated kitchen and dining area. The walk-out lower level offers a large family room with sliders to a covered sunroom, providing great potential for additional living space. Your primary suite is a standout, offering a walk-in closet, a second spacious closet, and private slider access to the sunroom—perfect for relaxing, watching wildlife, or enjoying winter snowfall views. Recent updates include a new roof (2020), a complete main-floor remodel with a refreshed kitchen featuring custom tile and soft-close cabinetry, wood-look tile flooring in the living and dining areas, a remodeled main bathroom, and French doors leading to a secluded, expansive deck. All appliances stay. Move-in ready with room to personalize, this home offers a rare private retreat close to everything Peoria has to offer.
