Description

Location! Location! Location! If you are looking to be close to Indiana University but still be able to enjoy the peace and quiet of an idyllic B-town neighborhood, this house is perfect for you.

Located in a desired school district, this house is just a two-minute walk to the bus line and a ten-minute drive to the IU campus, shopping mall and grocery store. With the YMCA just a stone's throw away, this house is in close proximity to the amenities of the city without the hubbub and commotion that usually come with it. Bloomington is a Tree City USA-designated city, and this neighborhood illustrates that perfectly with music of songbirds in the air in the morning, daytime and evening.

Complete with a two-car garage and boasting a fenced-in yard with raised garden beds and a spacious garden shed, the house is great for planting flowers and garden vegetables. The back deck has been newly redone and painted and is perfect for enjoying quiet evenings. Large windows leave the main floor basking in natural light, and a semi-open floor plan leaves the homeowner feeling cozy without that cluttered feeling.

The kitchen features Amish soft-close cabinets, stainless steel appliances (dishwasher and double-door fridge), a gas range with a double oven, a large farm sink and large pantry. A nice cast iron stairway leads way to the two bedrooms upstairs with lots of natural light and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The primary bedroom suite is on the main level, featuring a vaulted ceiling, a spa-like en suite bath with luxury shower jets and two sinks, and a spacious walk-in closet.

The home features a new HVAC system and an electric water heater to provide hot water instantly. Request a showing today to see all that this house has to offer!

People also run the stop sign on the Allendale Winslow entrance so you have to be super careful there, and people drive pretty fast on Allendale . If you have kids make sure you have a fence and not close to the main road "
