About This Home
Situated on a quiet corner of one of the most coveted streets in Bloomington, this sweet cottage has undergone an interior transformation whose high-end finishes belie the home's minimal traditional roots. Built in 1935 on land that originally belonged to Indiana’s ninth governor, it is among the newer historic homes in the Prospect Hill neighborhood. Its walkability can't be beat with a location just 3 blocks from the B-line, a 10-minute stroll to the Square, and a 20-minute walk to IU’s campus. Set back from the street, the house offers a peaceful front porch and back deck shaded by gorgeous trees. Lovingly renovated over the last two years, the cottage boasts many new features including: All new kitchen and laundry rooms, including custom cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, new tile flooring and new lighting; All new bathrooms, including vanity, lighting, tile, and fixture—plus a luxurious Delta rain shower head and diverter! Custom window blinds, fresh paint, new interior doors, and new recessed lighting throughout; Furnace and central air system installed in 2023; Sump pump installed in 2025. Custom architectural plans for a room addition, redesigned front porch, and a 2-car garage with upstairs apartment (approved by the Historic Preservation Commission) included in sale of home with full-price offer.
