Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-story home with breathtaking Illinois River views and direct freshwater access. Nestled in a peaceful setting along the Mississippi Flyway, it's a rare find offering both comfort and outdoor living, with frequent bald eagle sightings. The main level features a cozy family room with a gas-log fireplace, a bright eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar, and a pantry for added storage. Below the garage, a versatile workout room offers space for fitness, an office, or hobbies. Upstairs, the bedrooms provide comfort, and the lower level offers flexible space for storage or recreation. Outdoor living is exceptional with a deck overlooking the river, plus a patio for relaxing or entertaining, surrounded by seasonal wildlife and river activity. The home is built above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE), meaning flood insurance isn’t required. Flood vents protect the foundation, offering peace of mind. Recent upgrades include a $50,000 BioBarrier® wastewater system, a state-of-the-art MBR system that provides superior filtration and long-term reliability, backed by a 2-year warranty. A detached garage adds convenience and storage. With river access, fishing, and abundant wildlife, this home blends privacy, recreation, and comfort, just minutes from Peoria. If you’re seeking a riverfront home with major upgrades already in place, this one stands apart.
