About this House

Welcome to this beautifully renovated five-bedroom, three-bathroom home situated on a spacious, flat 0.38-acre corner lot in a quiet, family-friendly Bloomington neighborhood. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this home offers the rare combination of generous living space, modern finishes, character, and exceptional outdoor amenities.

The completely renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, an oversized island, soft-close cabinetry, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. The private primary ensuite was renovated in 2026, while the guest bathroom was updated in 2025 and the lower-level bathroom in 2023. The finished lower level offers a bright, inviting extension of the home with luxury vinyl plank flooring and a convenient kitchenette.

Original hardwood floors were refinished in 2021, and two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character. Numerous additional updates provide peace of mind, including a newer furnace, central air conditioner, washer, dryer, refrigerator, water heater, radon mitigation system, and professional asbestos removal.

Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with a new cedar privacy fence, spacious patio, mature trees, established perennial gardens, a large native pollinator garden, and raised garden beds. The flat corner lot provides plenty of room to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy the outdoors. A two-car garage, large shed, and French drain system add valuable function and convenience.

Located within walking distance of Oxboro Library, neighborhood playgrounds, the Bloomington Family Aquatic Center, and local elementary and middle schools, this home offers a wonderful balance of convenience and peaceful neighborhood living. With extensive renovations already completed, this is a home you can move into and enjoy from day one.

    "It’s a nice, quiet neighborhood and you can walk your dog without worrying about a lot of traffic. Neighbors are always out in their yards so it’s very easy to meet people. We do have a Fox in the neighborhood and have had coyotes in the past. There are also bald eagles around as well as hawks. If you have a small dog or cat you won’t want to leave them outside by themselves. There have been a few dogs and cats that have been taken. "
