A formal parterre garden and centered road at this turn-of-the century home, located along Peoria’s famed Grandview Drive, restored stately elegance to a residence that commands spectacular views of the Illinois River Valley. In back, a jewel-box courtyard offers enclosure and privacy, whether for watching a film on the sheltered veranda or taking a dip in the lap pool. By night, lighting and fountain elements transform the pool into a featured design element, well suited to a grand historic home.
