Mid-Century Modern Ranch in Peoria IL Open Sunday 2.15.09

Please stop by on Sunday to see this amazing new listing at 434 East High Point Lane.  It is a vintage contemporary home built in 1953 by a well-known Peoria architect who built it for his own residence.  It is full of interesting and unique details.  It is truly a one of a kind property.  The home is surrounded by 2.3 wooded acres and the setting is very private and serenel.  The home is light and sunny and most of the rooms have oversized newer windows.  The entry features a rounded wood veneer wall which leads to a dramatic living room with corner picture windows and a vaulted ceiling.  It also has a large fireplace.  There is an eat- in kitchen with a professional style stainless steel stove.  The kitchen has windows across the back.  There is also a formal dining room.  This home should be in a magazine, there were not many contemporary homes built in Peoria in the early 1950's and this one is a gem.  The bathroom is very cool, totally retro.  The master bedroom has a bathroom attached with a deep soaking tub, and there is also a walk in closet.  The walls and lights are amazing.  It also features beautiful large windows.  Check out the photos to get an idea of the feel of the home.  While I was taking photos today, a herd of deer wandered into the area in front of the home.  They were very comfortable with me and the buyers!!  The back yard is partially fenced in.  Stop by, you won't see a home like this again.  I love this house, in fact, when it was for sale several years ago, I considered purchasing it.  When I was in there late this afternoon, I remembered why it caught my imagination, it was so beautiful with the late sun coming in. The owners have managed to keep the "cool" yet update it to make it livable today.  I can imagine this house somewhere nestled along the coast of Southern California.  I hope you stop and see it.  If you have a problem finding it, call me at 696-7223.  Just follow the signs from Mt. Hawley Road to High Point Road to High Point Lane.  Laurie
