Pride of ownership shines throughout this vintage beauty nestled in a quiet neighborhood with convenient access to Illinois Wesleyan, the Constitution Trail and both the downtown Bloomington and uptown Normal areas. Situated directly across from Fell Park, 605 University Ave, Bloomington offers tons of space with options for many different living arrangements. The grand, covered front porch adds a welcoming touch to the home's curb appeal right along with a lovely front garden area, and provides a private retreat to relax and enjoy the beautiful neighborhood throughout the seasons. The main floor features a cozy foyer with beautiful staircase, French doors leading to the generous living room with wood burning fireplace, adjacent dining room with plenty of natural light and pass-through to the fun, renovated kitchen featuring quartz counters and melamine flooring, full bathroom, and two large bedrooms (larger of the two currently being used as a library). The second floor features two roomy bedrooms, an open office area, second full bath and extra storage. The large, partially finished basement with its own exterior alley access is host to a laundry/utility area, workshop, third full bathroom and sprawling studio room with a kitchenette (currently no oven but gas hookup is present) and insulated/vented ceiling. The back of the property features a privacy-fenced patio/courtyard area for low-maintenance relaxing and entertaining and an older 1-car garage off the alley (current owners have never used for parking). The opportunities are endless with this home - plenty of room for multi-generational owners, roommates or anyone looking for a little extra living space and storage - don't miss out!
