Property details
About 251 E 5th St
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!
