The Dunlap house at 2629 W Arden Way closed at its full asking price on September 17, 2026, the highest-priced of five reported closings that together came to $2.52 million across the Peoria, Illinois metro area. Ironwood Homes completed the five-bedroom house this year in the Wynncrest subdivision.
Two of the sales were in Dunlap, with one each in Groveland, Washington and Mapleton. Basements figure in all five: four are finished with extra bedrooms, recreation rooms or a bar, and the fifth is insulated and plumbed for a bathroom that has not been built. The oldest house dates to 2003 and the newest was finished this year, and the group runs from a ranch on a Groveland cul-de-sac to a 17.95-acre property in Mapleton.
No. 1 — $594,900 · 2629 W Arden Way, Dunlap, Illinois
Ironwood Homes completed the two-story house at 2629 W Arden Way this year, and it sold September 17, 2026 for $594,900. The exterior combines stone and vinyl, and a three-stall garage sits off the main floor. Inside, a foyer opens onto a flex room and a separate family room, hardwood flooring runs across the entire main level, and an electric fireplace sits on that floor. The kitchen has solid surface countertops, a center island and a walk-in pantry, and it opens into an informal dining area with a bump-out that looks over the backyard.
Four bedrooms are upstairs, among them a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a private bath with dual vanities, a tiled shower and a separate toilet area; the remaining upstairs bedrooms share a full bath, also with dual vanities. The fifth bedroom is in the finished basement, alongside a rec room, another full bath and storage. A drop zone and the main-floor laundry sit just off the garage, and a patio at the back of the house overlooks the yard. The home carries five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a reported 3,164 square feet.

No. 2 — $500,000 · 308 Conaghan Dr, Groveland, Illinois
The ranch at 308 Conaghan Drive closed at $500,000 on September 14, 2026, on a cul-de-sac in The Reserves at Stonegate. Built in 2020, it has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a reported 1,880 square feet. The open-concept plan runs the kitchen into the living room, and a split-bedroom layout sets the primary suite apart from the other two bedrooms.
The three-car garage has extra width and depth, finished walls and ceiling, TSR flooring and a second staircase that gives direct access to the basement. That basement is unfinished, but it has bathroom plumbing already in place, insulated walls and a layout drawn for a later build-out; with the private garage access, listing materials point to its potential as separate quarters or guest space. The backyard is fully fenced and landscaped, with a brick patio for a firepit and sunset views across farmland.
