At the end of this cul-de-sac, things get a little better; the woods get thicker and the privacy gets harder to beat. At the back of this tucked-away stretch of neighborhood, this 2200 sq.ft. ranch with finished walk-out basement offers a smart mix of space, scenery and easy living. The large front and side yards give a growing family room to run, play or simply spread out... with the most perfect 20' wide covered porch. Out back, the yard may be modest, but the 40 x 12 deck and hot tub (it stays!) more than makes up for it. Step outside and the view is straight out of a calendar... mature woods that look beautiful in every season. Morning coffee suddenly has a pretty compelling upgrade. The basement offers an easy 4th bedroom option for visiting family, with egress through the sliders. For buyers ready to simplify, the floor plan works just as well. The main floor primary suite includes its own sizeable full bath and main floor laundry keeps everyday life conveniently on one level. Interstate access, East Peoria's Levee District (think quick Target & Costco runs) are both roughly just 10 minutes away. Notable updates & upgrades include: roof ('20), entire back deck re-decked ('25), new shed ('25), appliances ('18), myQ Craftsman garage door opener ('25), Nest thermostat ('25), laundry room remodel w/tile floor ('18), family room projector w/sound system, ('16), radon mitigation system ('15).
