About This Home

As of February 2025

This beautifully rehabbed bungalow-style home is nestled in a charming small town, offering the perfect balance of peaceful living with the convenience of being just a short drive from Bloomington. Located in a welcoming community, this property provides a serene retreat while still being close to larger towns for easy access to amenities. Upon entering, you're greeted by a versatile front mudroom, which can also serve as a cozy office space, along with a convenient laundry room. The main level opens into a spacious living room that flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen, creating an inviting, open-concept space for relaxation and entertaining. This level also features a comfortable bedroom and a well-appointed full bathroom. Upstairs, the expansive master bedroom awaits, offering ample space and a private full bath for added comfort. There's also a charming attic space that could be used for additional storage or creative projects. Outside, the .75-acre yard provides plenty of room for pets, family activities, and gardening, with a well-maintained garden shed for tools or additional storage. The 12x24 shed includes a brand-new heater and air-conditioner in the building, perfect for DIY projects, hobbies, or as a potential home office. The home's exterior combines classic brick and siding, with a sturdy, low-maintenance finish. Key updates include a new septic system and leach field, installed in 2012, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. This bungalow is an ideal home for anyone seeking a tranquil, updated property in a friendly small-town community, with easy access to nearby larger cities.
