Property Description

This classic South Hill 3-bedroom, 1-bath home has everything you want - and more than you might expect. The main floor offers two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, while a third bedroom and bonus room upstairs give you the flexible space that's hard to find: home office, hobby room, playroom, or guest retreat - the choice is yours. The full unfinished basement is a genuine blank slate, ready to become whatever you need next, and the 2-car garage rounds out the practical side of the picture. Step outside and the home keeps delivering. A large front porch invites you to slow down and settle in - perfect for morning coffee or an evening wind-down on a quiet, low-traffic street. The fenced backyard offers privacy and room to roam, with a paver patio that's ready for your warm-weather entertaining. It's the kind of outdoor setup that makes a house feel like home from day one. But what really sets this property apart is the care that's gone into it. Since 2018, the owners have tackled the big stuff and the finishing touches alike - a complete electrical re-wire with hardwired smoke and CO detectors, new panel, new furnace, new gutters with guards, and a 50-amp generator hook-up (generator not included) give you serious peace of mind. The kitchen has been refreshed with painted cabinets, new vinyl plank flooring, new refrigerator, and updated fixtures. The upstairs was fully remodeled in 2023 with new vinyl plank flooring and fresh paint throughout. A new bathtub, shower surround, and faucet were added in 2025, along with a new butcher block countertop. Fresh paint on the first floor bedrooms in 2026 means this home is truly move-in ready. Ask for the full update sheet - the list goes on. All of this is tucked into South Hill, one of Bloomington's most established neighborhoods - welcoming, and the kind of place where community matters. And just around the corner, Miller Park delivers one of the city's best community experiences: a zoo, splash pad, playground, miniature golf, and a historic 100-year-old pavilion that hosts weddings, events, and summer concerts at the bandstand. The 11-acre lake offers fishing and seasonal paddleboat rentals, and every Fourth of July, the park hosts a fireworks display launched over the water - one of Bloomington's most beloved traditions. Close to everything, yet quiet enough to feel like a retreat. Homes like this, with this level of documented care, don't stay on the market long.
