Full Description:

Looking for modern comfort? This completely remodeled spacious two bedroom second story unit on East Jefferson is just a block from the historic district and a one-of-a-kind find in Bloomington. All new stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), incredible zebra countertop, stainless steel backsplash, and motion sensor undermounted lights make this a chef's dream. The kitchen is large enough for a family table, and the new charcoal gray flooring is continuous throughout the apartment. The front living room is very large and features a modern wallpaper print that matches the jewel-toned doors throughout. The unit also has new energy efficient windows.

The bathroom is completely new: floating silver vanity, vanity mirror with make-up lights, high efficiency toilet, and a shower surround with subway tiles and a decorative black and mirror accent make this bathroom high tech and comfortable. The vent even has a speaker and syncs with your cell phone so that you can play music as you get ready for work.

The two bedrooms are large and have silver carpet just installed and spacious closets, and the back bedroom has brand new washer and dryer right there in the room -- your laundry cannot be more convenient than that! Matching chandelier lighting throughout.

Private parking is in the back, but there is also ample parking on the brick front street.

Available:

Community Features:
One street north of Washington St. and the new Green Top Grocery!

    "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"
