Description

Experience the timeless beauty of 601 E Grove, a historic gem perfectly situated on a picturesque corner lot in the heart of Dimmitt's Grove. Imagine autumn leaves swirling around stately trees, twinkling Christmas lights from neighboring historic homes, and weekend strolls to downtown Bloomington for dinner, drinks, or the farmers market-all just steps from your front door. This dreamy bungalow blends classic character with modern convenience, offering 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Every room exudes warmth and charm, from the inviting living areas to the thoughtfully updated features throughout. The lower level is the icing on the cake-boasting two finished rooms ideal for extra living space, a home office, or even a 5th bedroom, plus generous storage space. Out back, a fully fenced yard with two fragrant lilac bushes creates a private retreat perfect for entertaining or relaxing. 601 E Grove isn't just a home-it's a lifestyle filled with comfort, community, and classic Bloomington charm.

    "Dogs are welcome and I have never seen one loose. Some people do not pick up their animals waste, which I think is very rude.. the “Dog Run” is not what is perceived on the pamphlets, it is very small fenced in area..so everyone just lets their dogs go on any grassy area"
