About This Home
As of January 2025Known as the original Peony Garden of Center Point, this home was once a nursery and a visitor's stopping point for many guests. The history of the homestead and land has dressed the covers of several magazines including American Acreage and the Peony Garden Open house booklet. The perennials, peony's, and ferns are still covering much of the acreage. Seeking a new owner, this home with history offers hardwood flooring, natural moldings, and old-world charm. Needing a little love and your personal touch, the floor plan flows well and offers a functional design. Welcome guests on the covered front porch or the enclosed rear home porch and drop zone accessing the kitchen. The home has 2024 new shingles, aluminum siding, soffit, and gutters, several newer windows, new sump pits, 150-amp electrical service, metal siding and concrete floor in barn, poultry pens, heated garage, recently leveled dining floor with new footings, and root cellar. There is a 2-car detached garage and accessory buildings (as is condition). This rare find in town city acreage is private yet close to amenities. City utilities include Center Point water and sewer, Alliant for electric and gas, USA communications fiber availability for hook up. No restrictive covenants, only city and county building codes would apply. 1 mile from I-380 and Center Point Rd intersection, 0.5 miles to Center Point Urbana school. City would allow 6 chickens that are non roosters with approved permit.
