1210 N Parkside Dr, Peoria, IL 61606

Welcome to the Dr. Charles Farnum House located in the historic Uplands neighborhood. The first story is brick and the second story is a Tudor style. The roof has a steep pitch, and the windows are paned. The porch is at the front and side. The driveway leads to a large 2 stall garage with unfinished loft. By the front steps is a small sign that reads “Dr. Farnum.” The historic home is a true gem of the Uplands neighborhood complete with a fully remodeled kitchen and half bath and incredible historic charm. The primary bath was also updated. The full basement features a prohibition booze cellar with steel door as featured in the walk through video. The home contains 4 bedrooms, 2 containing private bathrooms, 2nd floor laundry, and a third floor in-law or primary suite with additional living room, bedroom, and en suite bathroom. About the Uplands...The Uplands neighborhood, developed in 1902, was the first to have a neighborhood association. Today, the voluntary contribution to the neighborhood association of $20 goes toward snow removal on the sidewalks otherwise known as the "snow fund". Neighbors can be seen hanging out on their front porches, a common neighborhood feature. The Uplands hosts an annual picnic in Laura Bradley Park. The 140 acre Laura Bradley Park, which the Farnum home overlooks, has the distinction of being the 2nd park gifted to the Peoria Park District by Lydia Moss Bradley (founder of Bradley University).
