About This Home

As of October 2024

Take the path less traveled and discover a picturesque 33-acre estate that mirrors the serene beauty of the English countryside just minutes from Bloomington-Normal! Current owners have implemented modern design touches throughout this stunning Charles E. Hall design, plus efficient improvements to ensure the integrity of this property for years to come. With nearly 6,000 square feet of above-grade living space, your eye is easily drawn to the aesthetics of the many design upgrades and special original touches to be discovered around every corner... Including a thoughtfully planned full kitchen demo and rebuild, newly renovated bathrooms, fresh fixtures, upgraded flooring, doors, trim and paint throughout (to name a few). However, what is even more impressive are the many major improvements to ensure the enjoyment of this estate that are not so visible to the eye. Most notably, a freshly dug well and new pump now serve the property, poured cement surfaces surrounding the perimeter of the home have all been fully replaced including sidewalks, multiple patios & the expanded driveway, while a newly installed dewatering system added in the lower level ensures the health of all major mechanicals. Impressive HVAC upgrades throughout the upper level add comfort, and numerous electrical improvements on every level provide peace of mind and efficiency, including three upgraded electrical panels, GFCI protected outlets, new switches and several fixtures (excluding the original chandelier that still remains in the grand foyer to greet you at the door)! Plumbing upgrades include fresh PEX plumbing lines throughout ready to serve the sparkling new fixtures and faucets in each of the five bathrooms. Outside, extensive landscaping and exterior paint work plus numerous window repairs complement the original architecture of this stately home. As you pass through the welcoming hallways of this sprawling estate, you'll find that much of the original character and charm remains, while recent improvements now have added comfort, safety and luxury to the long list of amazing adjectives to characterize this special property! Step outside and stroll the expansive wooded acreage surrounding the property guiding you through the trees where you'll discover winding trails and grand gardens from days gone by, a retired horse barn, and a private pond where you are sure to find your perfect fishing spot. Seeing is truly believing... Come experience the exquisite grandness of 5305 Ireland Grove for yourself!
