Description

The Rachel Wright House is a revivified 19th-century Greek Revival three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, located in the heart of the historic Prospect Hill neighborhood.

Located in walking distance to Indiana University, Bloomington’s vibrant downtown, the B-Line Trail, the Farmers Market, Bloomingfoods, Rainbow Bakery, galleries, cafes and more, the Rachel Wright House features high ceilings, original transoms, hardwood floors and trim, folk art fireplace, large closets and an upstairs master suite that is a tree-house retreat.

It also has a 21st-century heart. The Rachel Wright’s sleek renovated kitchen features Amish-made cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, looking out to the landscaped cottage garden. The contemporary Italian-tiled bathrooms with modernist fixtures provide a respite from the busy world. It’s a Green house, with an ultra-high-efficiency gas furnace and an environmentally friendly, on-demand tankless water heater. Designed by former IU landscape architect David Smith, the landscaped grounds features low-maintenance perennials, specimen trees and shrubs, and urban orchard. The folk art limestone fence was crafted by master mason Paul Daugherty.
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.
