Description

What an incredible and stylish one-story, only 8-year-young, 3-bedroom, Trunk Bay built home in the beautiful Blackstone Trails subdivision! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with elevated finishes, including high-quality engineered hardwood flooring in deep walnut throughout the entire main level, lighting fixtures that belong in a home magazine, and paint colors that are right on trend. The kitchen features granite counters that have been "honed" to achieve a luxurious matte finish. In the kitchen corner, you'll find the step-in pantry with an automatic light and plenty of space. All of the high-end appliances will remain, including the washer and dryer. Two generously sized bedrooms can also be discovered on this main level. Then head downstairs to the fully finished basement to see the family room with hidden wiring for its entertainment components, the third bedroom, and the third full bathroom. The basement carpet is only 2 years old and has never had any animals on it. This bathroom, just like the other two bathrooms, also has a full tiled tub/shower surround. This home gives you all of the current on-trend finishes, plus the extras you won't find in the new homes, features like a fully fenced and landscaped backyard, a Japanese maple tree, planted hydrangea bushes, and an outdoor wireless sound system. The meticulously cared-for home has received twice-yearly regular service on the hvac system and has even already paid in full the 2026 Tru Green fertilizer treatments. The subdivision also features a private lake with a paved trail surrounding it, and this location is only minutes from shopping, restaurants and I-55 access! What a true GEM!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from May 04, 2026

    "overall it's a great place to raise a family, but, just like anywhere, check the crime maps and make sure your kids know to stay away from certain parts of town. Downtown Bloomington is where the highest concentration of crime happens. Mostly the college kids are targeted, but just be a little more cautious around there."
