800 W That Rd Bloomington, IN 47403

This property and house is by far "the creative's" dream! A stone's throw from the popular Clear Creek Trail and Bloomington Rail Trail, enjoy the convenience of being on the south edge of town with the quiet of country living. This home is well-maintained with a slew of new updates, including but not limited to fresh exterior paint, a new metal roof, new outdoor wraparound deck with "dipping" pool to cool off on hot summer days, and full renovation of the second floor: half bath, custom closets and built in storage, custom-made doors, updated hardwood floors and drywall, plus an added bedroom! Other updates have been a new furnace and central air conditioner, woodstove in the large outbuilding, cedar fence for privacy on the west side of the property by the second driveway, lush landscaping and gardens in the yard, and more! Yet the character of this home isn't all modern updates. Walking in the main entrance, you're greeted by tons of natural light coming from the skylights in the foyer and living room. Built-in bookcases and shelves are cleverly placed in the living room and kitchen. Painted, well-maintained original wood floors guide you around the open concept main floor, and an exposed brick chimney in the center of it all speaks to the charm and history of the original build. Fun, artistic elements are found throughout, like the kitchen island’s entertaining angles and the main bathroom's sunken soaking tub. Just past the office nook in the back entry is a large screened-in porch that could easily be turned into an all-seasons room with access to the garage on the west side of the house and the gorgeous deck. Step up the floating stairs to the bedrooms, where the "wow" moments continue as you appreciate the handcrafted, custom closets in the wide, open hallway at the top of the stairs. The main bedroom has five windows and two more skylights—soak in the views of the walnut and maple trees and garden below—and the moon and stars at night. Across the hall are two more bedrooms, both providing space for kids, guests, office, or an art studio. Outside, find a large concrete block outbuilding to use as a workspace for creative projects or just a large garage for more vehicles or recreational "toys". All in all, this property is a beautifully kept secret with a lot of love and time invested in it, just waiting for you to become its newest owner.
