From the moment you step inside, you'll find inviting spaces filled with old-world details and plenty of personality. Original hardwood floors sweep through the foyer, family room, formal dining room and up the craftsman style staircase into all the bedrooms. The family room, with updated gas fireplace and beautiful tile surround, is a cozy and welcoming space to gather or relax at the end of a long day. The kitchen offers updated cabinetry, large two-tone island and quartz countertops. A main floor half bath, a rare find in a home of this age, rounds out the first level. Upstairs, there is a primary suite, another rarity, and 3 additional spacious bedrooms and a second full bath with a cast iron tub that ties in the classic charms of this home. Additionally, there is a large finished attic space that adds even more versatility-perfect for a home office, playroom, hobby space, or cozy retreat. The enclosed 4-seasons porch adds to your living space, a wonderful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, or unwind at the end of the day. Outside, the fully fenced backyard provides 2 patio spaces and plenty of room to entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The large two-car garage can be accessed from the driveway off Grove or from the alley, providing ease of access. This home offers the perfect combination of charm, space, updates, and location.

-- Charming, full of character and located in the highly sought-after Founders Grove Subdivision! Original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and an inviting open layout create a warm and welcoming feel throughout. The living room is centered around a gas fireplace (converted in 2021) surrounded by built-ins. The formal dining space with a cozy window seat flows nicely into the kitchen, which features a charming, exposed brick accent, a breakfast bar for those quick meals, and a large pantry closet. Rounding out the first floor, you will find a full bath as well as the laundry. Upstairs, you will find all 3 bedrooms, with large closets, a rare find for a home of this age, and an additional full bath that got a refresh in 2023. The partially finished basement offers additional living space, great for a family room, playroom, or dedicated office space. The unfinished portion of the basement offers plenty of room for storage. Outside, you have the option of relaxing with your coffee or winding down from the day on the large enclosed front porch, or you can head out to the backyard, where a new privacy fence was installed in 2023, to hang out or entertain on the brick-paved patio. This home also offers a 2-car detached garage. Recent updates include roof in 2021, several replacement windows in 2023, exterior vinyl window wrapping in 2025, and a new garage door opener in 2026. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to own a move-in ready home filled with character in one of Bloomington's most desirable neighborhoods!
