About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to this breathtaking ranch home radiating English Cottage charm, ideally located in the coveted Hawthorne Hills neighborhood. Perfectly situated on over half an acre, this beautiful property boasts no backyard neighbors and features serene partial lake and park views. As soon as you step inside, you'll feel how pristine this home is. The entire main level was freshly painted, including walls and trim, and enhanced with additional lighting throughout in 2024. The main level flows beautifully with mostly wood flooring and no carpeting, creating a warm and cohesive feel. Entertaining is effortless in the open dining space that adjoins an inviting office with French doors and the spacious living room. The living room features custom built-ins with quartz countertops added in 2024, a soaring beamed ceiling complemented with a new fan, and a stunning two-way stone decorative fireplace shared with the kitchen. The completely remodeled gourmet kitchen (2025) is sure to impress with its massive ten-person quartz island, additional custom cabinetry and shelving, high-end appliances, a beautiful range hood, and two new windows overlooking the park. From here, you can step out to the newly extended deck (2025), perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The butler's pantry offers additional storage and prep space with custom cabinets and quartz countertops. The remodeled laundry room (2025) includes custom cabinetry, a drying rack, built-in cubbies, and an adjacent half bath. The main level primary suite is a peaceful retreat, offering balcony access, a custom closet system, new wood flooring in closet (2024), and a new ceiling fan. The ensuite bathroom includes a soaking tub, tiled shower with glass door, and double vanity. Two additional main-level bedrooms are generously sized and feature closet organizers. The front bedroom includes custom built-ins, wood flooring, and a new fan added in 2025. The main bathroom has also been updated with new flooring and paint in 2025, and all bathrooms in the home were vented in 2024-2025. Downstairs, the walk-out basement continues to impress. The stair carpet was replaced in 2025, leading to a beautifully finished lower level featuring two additional bedrooms, each with custom stone electric fireplaces (2025), a fitness room, and a custom six-person Finnish dry sauna (2025) connected to a full bathroom. The large family room and game room share a two-way stone decorative fireplace and open to a newly installed walk-out patio (2025) overlooking the park-like backyard. The yard is fully enclosed with an aluminum picket fence finished in 2024. Additional updates include a backup sump pump (2023), new retaining walls (2025), reverse osmosis kitchen faucet (2025), new tear-off roof (2025), four new large trees (2024), updated Decora switches and dimmers throughout (2024), smart switches in key areas such as the entry and kitchen (2024), an additional 100-amp subpanel (2024), R60 attic insulation throughout (2024), and added garage lighting with R60 garage insulation (2023). This exceptional home combines timeless charm with extensive modern updates, creating a perfect blend of character, quality, and comfort in one of Bloomington's most desirable neighborhoods.
