About This Home

Adorable "dollhouse" in a beloved Bloomington neighborhood! Owned by the same family for over 60 years, this well-cared-for home is filled with character and opportunity. Around the corner from Wetern Ave and Chestnut, and in District 87 schools (Sheridan Elementary), you'll love the pride of ownership throughout the area. The lot stretches back an impressive 140 feet, offering a deep backyard, detached 1-car garage, and even a clothesline. Inside, the main level features a welcoming vestibule, comfortable family room, kitchen with laundry, a vaulted sunroom, full bath, and two bedrooms. Upstairs, the walk-up attic (steep stairs) includes one finished room (potential 3rd bedroom) plus an additional unfinished space-perfect for storage or future living area. The basement is remarkably dry with no water issues and showcases updated plumbing, electrical, and a high-efficiency furnace. Roof was replaced in 2018. An absolutely charming home with solid updates, a spacious yard, and endless potential in a fantastic neighborhood!
