About 1210 E Oakland Ave

Step into a storybook at 1210 E. Oakland Ave., a 1913 treasure just off the edge of Bloomington's cherished Founders Grove. This reimagined 2-story home, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a finished basement, and a 2-car garage, marries vintage charm with modern elegance. From the sprawling front porch, the home's timeless curb appeal whispers of cozy evenings and warm welcomes. Inside, history and heart intertwine-exposed brick, wood beams, custom millwork, and a stained-glass window glow alongside a cozy window seat. The 2024 kitchen, the home's beating heart, dazzles with custom soft-close cabinets, butcher block countertops, LVP flooring, stainless appliances, and a shiplap accent wall. The main floor unfolds with a spacious family room featuring a new walk-in coat closet, a formal dining room, a remodeled powder room, and a bright 3-season room gazing over the lush backyard. Outside, a fully fenced oasis awaits, with a deck, water garden, solar-lit stone path, and a foliage-draped arbor leading to a firepit-perfect for starlit gatherings. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a grand primary suite with a walk-in closet. The bright basement offers a rec area, full bath, laundry with mud sink, and ample storage, redefining old-home charm. Nearly every detail has been touched in the last two years: new roof, HVAC, water heater, most windows, refinished hardwood floors, updated electrical, plumbing, sewer line, and fully remodeled kitchen and baths. A full list of upgrades is available, but this home speaks for itself-a seamless blend of past and present, ready for your next chapter. *Extra Benefit: Electric car charger added in front driveway. **Extra Extra Benefit: For the history lovers...There is some speculation that this also MIGHT just be a Sears home!
