About this home
What an amazing home that is located right by the Bloomington Country Club and Bloomington High School. This large brick and vinyl Cape Cod style home with a back addition is just oozing with space and style. The updated kitchen features all stainless steel appliances (new in 2021) and a breakfast counter, plus opens to the dining area and fantastic living room. The back family room is cozy and quaint and offers access to the backyard and one of two main-level bedrooms. The other main-level bedroom is the perfect primary suite or mother-in-law quarters; it offers an attached updated full bathroom with an upright shower. Then, heading upstairs, you will discover two large bedrooms, each with multiple closets and charming space. Another full bathroom is found upstairs too. The full, unfinished basement offers lots of space to utilize in many ways: a home gym maybe, or another family room area, or even a future bedroom with an installed egress window. There is even the start of a bathroom in the basement for more future growth opportunity. The outdoor space is simply incredible; the lot goes a total of 201 feet back from Empire and gives you the privacy feeling you want. The large two-car detached garage and large driveway allow for everyone to have their own off-street parking area. New vinyl replacement windows in 2021, along with new vinyl siding on the back of the home in 2021. This home is currently being used as a successful Airbnb and is open to being sold that way with the furnishings being open to negotiations. Don't miss this one!...
