Property Description

Welcome to 1608 W Margaret Avenue, a charming brick home in Peoria's Sunset Hills offering character, space, and flexibility across multiple levels, along with several meaningful recent improvements, including a new 2-stall garage and brand-new roof, both completed in 2026. Step inside to find beautiful hardwood floors, generous natural light, and inviting living spaces filled with personality. The main level features a spacious living room, formal dining area, functional kitchen with stainless appliances, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a bright 4-season room perfect for morning coffee, reading, or additional entertaining space. Upstairs, a large 3rd bedroom creates a retreat with plenty of room to spread out. The finished basement adds even more usable living space with a sizeable recreation room, half bath, laundry area, and additional storage. Outside, enjoy established landscaping, mature trees, and classic brick curb appeal, while recent updates including a new A/C system installed in 2024 and replacement windows completed in 2021 add comfort and peace of mind. With approximately 1,692 finished square feet, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, versatile living spaces, and substantial recent improvements already completed, this one offers the kind of character and functionality that is increasingly hard to find.
