Property Description
Perched atop the bluff in Peoria’s coveted High Wine neighborhood on the West Bluff, 528 pairs historic grandeur with panoramic downtown views. Built in 1890, this 5-bedroom, 4-bath Victorian spans 3,747 square feet and showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era—original woodwork, stained glass, hardwood floors, and grand pocket doors that tell the story of Peoria’s “whiskey baron” past. A stunning central foyer sets the tone, flanked by elegant sitting rooms ideal for entertaining. The remodeled kitchen offers a spacious island & picture window overlooking the fenced backyard and skyline beyond. Start your mornings on the rear covered deck or the west-facing front porch, and host evenings on the covered patio with grill-ready space below. Upstairs, the second level features three generous bedrooms, full bath, laundry, & a private primary suite complete with attached bath and office. The third floor lives like its own apartment—bedroom, office, full bath, and brand-new HVAC—perfect for guests, extended family, or creative space. The remodeled walk-out basement adds a fifth bedroom & half bath for even more flexibility. Recent 2025 updates include luxury vinyl plank flooring in the primary suite, new basement bath, plumbing improvements, new third-floor HVAC, backyard patio, & updated lighting throughout.
