Description

Welcome to this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, close to ISU Weibring Golf Course. A new beautifully designed, custom built entry door with privacy glass, greets you as you step inside. The inviting hardwood floors lead you through a thoughtfully renovated space, featuring a spacious dining room and a dedicated in-home office. The large family room is perfect for gatherings, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and a convenient half bath. The updated eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting a chic wine and coffee bar, quartz countertops, a generous island, stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and stunning light fixtures. You'll find a spacious mud room/ laundry room off the 2 car garage. Upstairs, newer carpeting enhances the comfort of all four bedrooms complemented by a full hall bath. The expansive primary suite has a new barn door leading into the luxurious bathroom remodel featuring a spacious double shower, an additional closet, and a built-in ceiling bluetooth speaker with color-changing light. You can conveniently brighten, dim, and change the color of the light as well as select the music and volume that fits your mood. The partially finished basement offers plenty of room for entertainment and separate storage areas, making it a versatile space for your lifestyle.

    "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."
