Description

Here is your opportunity to join the Founder's Grove neighborhood! This lovingly restored Grove Street home features original woodwork and beautiful refinished hardwood floors. Enjoy the beautiful tree lined views on Grove Street from your porch swing on the relaxing screened in porch. The living room presents an attractive wood stairway with a gas fireplace, and joins to the dining room which includes a window seat (with built in storage), beamed ceiling, and wood floors. The upscale kitchen has a newly added butler's pantry, with new floors, countertops, dishwasher, all stainless-steel appliances. The first floor half bath includes a new toilet, sink, mirror and floor. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and a sleeping porch/sunroom. The full bath has a complete renovation with tiled tub shower, wainscoting, a new vanity and flooring. The master bedroom has added electrical for sconces, and a brand new ceiling light fixture, a cozy sitting area and added pull out shelving in the closet. New handrail to the family room in the lower level, it has a new bar top, and new lighting over the bar. There is a fun finished attic space on the third floor, that is perfect for an office or as an artist's studio - as there is a sink; it also has a feel of a loft, with 8 sun filled windows , making it feel like a "grownup treehouse". There is a detached 2 car garage and a 1 attached garage. The attached garage is newly insulated with new Window works windows and could be a perfect workout spot or workshop. The roof was replaced in 2019 and the air conditioner was installed in July of 2020. All windows (except for sunroom & dining room) on the main house were replaced in 2021 with Renewal by Anderson windows which boast a 20 year warranty that is transferable to new homeowner. There is also a brand new side door to the home and to the attached garage. Located in an easily walkable neighborhood, this home is 2 miles from Keg Grove Brewery (a beautiful 30 minute walk). A 5 minute drive to downtown Bloomington, and a mile away from the Constitution Trail (37 mile bike trail) this is a can't miss home!

    "Dogs are welcome and I have never seen one loose. Some people do not pick up their animals waste, which I think is very rude.. the “Dog Run” is not what is perceived on the pamphlets, it is very small fenced in area..so everyone just lets their dogs go on any grassy area"
