About this House

Great opportunity for an investor or buyer looking to customize a property from the ground up! This home has already undergone significant structural work and has been secured, including newly installed stairs and new windows. The property was previously divided into a duplex, but is currently an empty shell, offering flexibility to complete it as a two-unit investment property or convert it back to a single-family home depending on your vision. Many building materials needed to finish the project will remain with the property, helping the next owner move forward with renovations more efficiently. With major structural work already addressed and materials on site, this property presents a great opportunity to finish and add value in an established Bloomington location. Property being sold as-is. It is metered for each unit separately for gas, water, and electric.

819 E Bell St, Bloomington, IL 61701 is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom multi-family built in 1920. It last sold for the $70,000 asking price on Mar 30, 2026. This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $111,800, with a rent estimate of $1,407/month.

I feel like the school overall is fine. I really appriciate the principal. However, I wish the teachers were more able to deal with child with learning disabilities rather than just throwing out that he should be in special needs. I myself went to district 87 and suffered from adhd and was never put in special education but my teachers worked with me.
