About This Home
As of July 2022Stunning 4-bedroom contemporary home offers fabulous features and a majestical wooded setting in Kingston Estates. Property is a stone's throw from state forest and hiking trails. It is only minutes to IU Campus, shopping and downtown Bloomington. Sellers have loved nature walks and the fact that they are so close to everything, yet in a virtual paradise. The home was built by Larry Baker, a name synonymous with quality. It features custom kitchen cabinetry by Larry Ferree including pantry w/pull-outs, built-in appliances--convection wall oven & microwave, smooth cooktop w/Dacor downdraft plus JennAir Grill. The dining room has hardwood floor and expansive Pella windows that allow one to partake of the wooded views. There is a gorgeous stone wood-burning fireplace w/built-in wood compartment and mantels to display favored pictures or artwork. The Sellers had a custom built-in bookcase by Larry Ferree that soars to meet the vaulted ceiling and a rolling ladder to easily access all areas with ease. The living and dining rooms boast hardwood ceiling. There is a large deck off of the living room and a screened porch off of the dining area that are connected for ease in entertaining. There is an additional deck off of the master suite that the wood was just replaced. Ascend just a few steps to the upper level that offers two large walk-ins for storage or multi-use. The master suite has it own bath plus generous walk-in closet. There are two more bedrooms plus a 2nd full bath on this level. There is a 4th bedroom with room for a sitting area and its generous window brings nature inside. The lower level offers a family or recreation room with numerous closets--storage galore found here.
