About this House

Distinctive French Country-inspired architecture, beautiful natural stone, and a wonderfully private wooded setting create an unforgettable first impression at this one-of-a-kind Bloomington home. Steeply pitched gables, decorative timber detailing, an arched entry, and mature landscaping give the exterior timeless European character, while the interior offers over 5000 square feet of distinctive and exceptionally flexible living space across three levels. Graceful arched openings, rich wood trim, custom millwork, slate flooring, fireplaces, and architectural details carry the home’s character throughout. One of its most exceptional features is the floor plan, with a spacious private bedroom suite on every level, creating wonderful possibilities for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests, or simply giving everyone their own private retreat. The main level features an expansive primary suite along with generous living and dining areas, a well-appointed kitchen, and striking entertaining spaces. A dramatic room accented by substantial wood molding, arched openings, a brick fireplace, and distinctive slate-and-wood flooring showcases the craftsmanship and personality found throughout the home. Upstairs, another generous bedroom suite is complemented by a large loft and additional flexible rooms that can accommodate offices, hobbies, reading areas, or other needs. The expansive lower level feels like a home of its own, offering yet another private bedroom suite along with a large recreation room, second kitchen, fireplace, pantry, utility space, and abundant room for entertaining or extended living. Surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery, the property offers an impressive sense of privacy while remaining convenient to Bloomington. Three levels, three private suites, multiple living spaces, multiple fireplaces, and tremendous flexibility make this a truly distinctive property—one that can comfortably evolve with the needs of its next owner.
