Welcome to 251 E 5th Street in Peru, IN! This big 2-story home sits on a corner lot right across from a park—great for playing or relaxing. The city just approved it to be used as a duplex, so you can turn it into two homes in one! Work has already started: there’s new plumbing, new gas lines, some new drywall, fresh paint, new flooring and new kitchen appliances. The roof is only 3 years old, and it has an attached 1-car garage. There’s still some work left to do, so you can make it your own! Or, if you want, it can be turned back into a single-family home. So many possibilities with this one—live in one part, rent the other, or keep it all to yourself!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
