A bungalow that feels like home the moment you step inside. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath classic sits in one of Bloomington's most convenient pockets - just minutes from both Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University, making it a smart play for owner-occupants, university staff, faculty, or investors looking for a strong rental footprint in a proven student-and-professional corridor. Step through the door and the character speaks first. Beautiful hardwood floors run through the spacious living and dining rooms, where classic wooden pillars frame the space and give the home its signature warmth. It's the kind of detail you don't find in new construction - and the kind that buyers remember. The kitchen is functional and full of storage, with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry making the most of every square foot. Main-floor laundry is conveniently located in the heated sunroom - a practical setup that keeps everything on one level. Outside, the inviting front porch invites you to slow down at the end of the day. The backyard is nearly fully fenced - only a small extension between the garage and house is needed to complete the enclosure, making it ready for pets, gardens, or weekend gatherings. The oversized 1.5-car garage measures a generous 16 x 23, delivering far more storage and workshop room than the typical city garage. The unfinished basement adds even more potential - store, expand, or finish to taste. Location is the multiplier. You're walkable and drivable to ISU and IWU, with quick access to Uptown Normal, Eastland Mall, downtown Bloomington, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery, and everyday conveniences. Whether you're settling in, buying close to campus, or adding to a rental portfolio, the location works in your favor. And the best part? The major work is already done. Recent updates include a new roof on both the house and oversized garage, plus new soffit and gutters (2025). The furnace, water heater (2026), and central air was replaced in 2021 with warranties still valid. The gas line was inspected and updated where needed in 2026, and the outside meter base and mast were replaced in 2021. Every appliance stays - stove, refrigerator, washer, and dryer - all less than 2 years old. At this price point, a home with the mechanical already handled is rare. The savings show up the day you move in. Original character, modern peace of mind, and a location that pays you back every day. Schedule your showing today.
