Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from February 15, 2024
Wait till you see the view from the front porch of this home!! Located on the near south side of Bloomington, the 1.02-acre lot is lined with beautiful, tall trees and an 85-year-old Magnolia sits in the front yard! An excellent scenic view of rolling hills and farmland, yet only 2 miles from the grocery store! This is a quintessential Bloomington limestone ranch with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. TWO detached garages, plus a storage shed, all on a private 1-acre lot. On the main floor, you'll find a galley kitchen with an eat-in space, plus a dining room with two storage closets. New tile in the kitchen and fresh paint throughout the home. Two bedrooms and one full bath, also with new tile, plus a light-filled living room are situated on the main level of the home. The basement was remodeled in 2017 with stained concrete flooring in the large lower-level living room/office. Also on the lower level is an ensuite bedroom with new composite flooring and a newly remodeled bathroom with a walk-in tile shower. The basement laundry room houses two closets and a brand-new front-load washer and dryer. The home has had extensive upgrades including 220V electricity, new HVAC and AC units in 2017, a new gas water heater in 2019, and recent septic improvements in 2021. All appliances stay! Both of the detached garages have ethernet networks installed and are heated for year-round work or play. This home is clean and move-in ready! Unpack, relax, and enjoy the recent updates and south-side scenic views!
