1118 E Monroe St Bloomington, IL 61701

Rich in character with modern update while still maintaining the original architecture of the Arthur Pillsbury home. This home will draw you in the moment you turn on Monroe street. The picturesque tree lined road is a welcoming setting to this beautiful home. If mature trees and larger yards are what you have been looking for, then look no further. This home sits on nearly 1/2 of an acre. The backyard has a courtyard like setting that embodies all the charm and personality one would expect. One of my favorite premium features of this property is the two separate 2 car garage. One measuring at 24X24 and the other at 20X22. The interior of this breathtaking home is the crown jewel. This home was designed for entertaining. It features refinished solid oak flooring on the grand main floor. The well appointed kitchen is tailored for the most talented chefs and aspiring cooks alike. It features custom cherry cabinets with built in accent lighting. The counters are made of the desirable soapstone. Many people are surprised to learn that soapstone, while somewhat softer than granite, is less porous and less susceptible to staining. Soapstone particles are extremely compact, more so than those of quartz, marble, or granite. Which makes it more sanitary and easier to wipe clean. The living room is the focal point of this home. It will be the room that you spend the most time with your family and friends. It was designed for entertaining with its cozy fireplace adorned by built in bookcases. There is an inviting sunroom connected to the family entertaining area. This sunroom has new carpet in 2020. The space has so many options; office space, spare bedroom for guests, play room, bar area, extra living room, crafting room, gift wrapping, arts and crafts and much more. Upstairs features 4 bedroom retreats. Brand new carpeting in 2020. The bedrooms are all ample in size. All the bedrooms have recently been painted with a peaceful relaxing warm neutral color. Bathroom vanities have been updated to give the home that extra added modern convenience while still maintaining the integrity of the original Pillsbury design. There are two full bathrooms upstairs and a 1/2 bathroom on the main level. There is a staircase that leads to a large attic space. This space is well insulated. It could be an additional finished livable space if the new homeowners ever found the need to do so. The basement is a very clean unfinished space. Great for storage! This home will sure to make a favorable impression online....imagine seeing it in person! Please make it a point to see this one of a kind gem at 1118 E Monroe in Bloomington Illinois.
