About this home
Single Family · Built 1943
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! You're not going to find a better location than this! Walking distance to IU's stunning campus, less than a mile to the shopping and restaurants that the East side of town has to offer, and just 1 mile to Kirkwood Ave and downtown! This property truly is in the heart of all that Bloomington has to offer! In addition to the unbeatable location, this beautifully updated quad-level mid-century home offers a massive living and dining space with a beautiful brick fireplace and built-in shelves as the focal point of the room, perfect for cozy days and nights or entertaining friends and family. The dining room leads you into the cook's updated galley-style kitchen with high-end appliances, quartz countertops, and a built-in dining booth. Off of the kitchen is a gorgeous screened-in outdoor living area, perfect for enjoying at least 3 of the 4 seasons! Need more outdoor space? The home also features a rare but large, fenced-in backyard and patio area. In the upper level you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 completely updated full bathrooms. In the lower level, you'll find a rec room, currently being used as a workout area/home gym, but has the potential for countless other uses! Off of the rec area is another full bathroom, massive laundry room, TWO walk-in storage areas, and another large room, perfect for a home office or a multitude of other possibilities! This home offers the ultimate tri-fecta of location, space (indoor and outdoor), and style! Upgrades include new HVAC in 2024 and new ROOF in 2025.
