**METAMORA SCHOOLS** Beauty surrounds you the moment you enter the private drive to this stunning four-bedroom, five-bathroom brick estate, perched on five acres atop a scenic bluff with endless river views. Designed and built in 1935 by Fletcher Lankton, this home has been meticulously renovated to blend timeless craftsmanship with modern updates. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors flow through the open main level, highlighting stainless steel appliances, granite surfaces, and custom built-ins. Three levels of living space culminate in a third-floor family room and observatory with breathtaking views. A newly added front door and covered porch enhance the home’s charm. A private in-law suite sits above the detached garage, while a 48' x 30' insulated outbuilding with radiant heated floors provides ideal space for a workshop or storage. Recent upgrades include a new tankless water heater and water softener. With school bus pickup at the driveway and an unbeatable location just minutes from Peoria in the highly sought-after Germantown Hills/Metamora school district, this is a rare opportunity to own a historic home with unparalleled views and modern convenience.
