About 309 E 1st St

Charming Bloomington bungalow just a few blocks south of campus is well cared for and modernized, while keeping the impressions of the past in wonderful woodwork, doors, hardware and hardwood floors. The tall windows adorn every room showing off the woodwork and tall ceilings. Three bedrooms and 1.5 bath provide a lot of space. A back addition blends flawlessly with the old and offers a separate entrance that leads to a sitting area, powder room and bedroom or office. The current owners ran a successful business here for over 30 years! A real highlight is the dining room with its beautiful window seat and original built-in storage and cabinetry with glass doors. Both of the main bathrooms have giant closets, a unique feature of a downtown bungalow. There is ample parking with a one car garage in back. On top of all the existing greatness of this home is an upstairs unfinished loft. Already equipped with a staircase, there are endless options for doubling the finished space of the home. A giant primary suite? A couple of bedrooms and gathering area? As is, it is a great space for storage. The roof was installed in 2022 and the full basement is dry. Come imagine the possibilities today, an owner occupied home or an income producing rental opportunity.
