Tucked into the heart of Peoria Heights, this charming 2 bedroom bungalow blends classic character with thoughtful updates and a location that puts some of the area’s favorite spots just minutes away. Imagine mornings with coffee on the front porch, afternoons spent exploring nearby shops, restaurants, parks, and Prospect Road conveniences, and evenings back home in a space that feels comfortable, simple, and easy to enjoy. Inside, the home offers functional main floor living with updated touches throughout, including Delta kitchen and bathroom faucets, a Delta shower head installed in 2023, a new bathroom floor completed in 2025, and a whole-home osmosis system with filtered drinking water added in 2024. Additional improvements include an upgraded electrical box and wiring, plumbing added for main floor laundry, and both gas and electric stove connections available. A new window A/C unit was installed in 2023 as well. Out back, the privacy-fenced yard creates a cozy outdoor setting with additional potential for future carport or garage space in the rear corner. Whether you're looking for your first home, a downsize option, or an investment opportunity near all the energy of the Heights, this one is ready for its next chapter.
