Offering over 5,100 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the expansive layout features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Soaring walls of glass frame the lush, wooded setting, pulling abundant natural light inward and highlighting the finely crafted interior materials. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow is ideal for entertaining, anchored by spacious living areas that invite the outside in. Resting on 3.5 highly private, park-like acres, the grounds offer sweeping, breathtaking views of the Illinois River. Complete with a 3-car garage and meticulously preserved era-specific details, this rarely available estate provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity. It is a timeless retreat where art, architecture, and nature live in perfect harmony. Standing among Peoria’s most architecturally significant properties, this iconic pre-midcentury residence at 501 E High Point Road was designed by celebrated modernist Robert Paul Schweikher. Completed in 1949 for Ernest and Lucinda Burhans and featured in The American House Today, the home is a masterclass in organic modernism and quiet sophistication. It embodies Schweikher’s hallmark style, utilizing a warm integration of natural wood, exposed brick, and glass, alongside striking horizontal rooflines that effortlessly blend into the landscape.
