Description

This exceptional Bloomington home is tucked away on 15 deeply forested acres, including a meandering trail with multiple bridges and benches. Imagine enjoying your very own creek- and mushroom-filled ravines with relaxing seasonal vistas. But there’s plenty of outdoor open space too, with a fenced yard, large fenced garden & shed, and spots for parking multiple cars. There's even a roomy two-car garage with huge storage overhead and a finished and heated/cooled bonus room perfect for an art studio or workshop. You will never want to leave the all-glass four-season room, except perhaps to enjoy the multiple-head master shower! With 2 bedrooms upstairs and a bedroom and bedroom-sized office on the main, there’s plenty of options for arranging your ideal work/sleep spaces. A rare combination of rural living and convenience, the house is mere minutes from Lake Monroe and the Lake Monroe Sailing Club, but still just a fifteen minute jaunt to campus or Eastside shopping. High speed internet makes working from home a breeze. Additional perks include new roof sections, both screened-in and wrap-around porches great for entertaining, a lighted stairway, an insulated room divider to the four-season room, a walk-in master closet, and a walk-in pantry! Do not let this dream house get away from
