About This Home
Welcome to Maxwell Lane, one of Bloomington's oldest homes, originally owned by the distinguished Dr. Maxwell who had an instrumental part in founding Indiana University. This three-story home is original to Elm Heights and blends Bloomington’s historic charm with modern upgrades, creating a home that is both storied and eco-conscious. The main level features a spacious living room with expansive windows, a large dining area open to the kitchen, and a flexible room that can serve as a bedroom or office. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, including the primary ensuite, along with a full guest bathroom. An additional staircase leads to the uppermost level, where cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a rock-climbing/bouldering wall bring light and life to a large rec-room with its own full bathroom. The home’s charm is complemented by a wood-burning fireplace and architectural detailing throughout, including stained-glass windows, beautiful wood trim, hardwood flooring, original wooden doors with decorative knobs, and a preserved hand-painted mural. The current owners have made essential improvements to the home, adding efficiency and long-term value while preserving its historic charm. Updates include new windows, an updated chimney, an electric vehicle charger, a new sewer line, and more! Located on a corner in the heart of Bloomington, you will be near Bryan Park, Indiana University, Elm Heights, and Bloomington’s most picturesque streets. Enjoy the convenience of a two-car garage and off street parking, a hard to find amenity in the neighborhood.
