2 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Find historic charm in this completely renovated 1895 Near Westside home. This home was gutted and then redone with a huge amount of respect to the historic nature of the home. This is a unique spin on a historic restoration, bringing in some of today's popular features like an open floor plan and custom kitchen island with seating while making the most of many reclaimed features (historic salvage saved from the dump) like the 1930's kitchen cabinets and many of the doors. Check out the period details like the transom windows over all the doors, the arched door way, original hardwoods and more. 10' ceilings make the rooms feel airy and bright. Updates include new electric service and wiring, new plumbing (including water line to the street), new HVAC. The roof and gutters are newer, as are many windows, newer sewer lineand the stone foundation is the talk of the neighborhood with attractive limestone blocks (not piers). The backyard has a farm fence that has worked well to contain pets. The exterior of the property is protected by Bloomington Restorations covenants (any exterior changes would need to be approved by BRI) in order to preserve the property's contribution to the Near West Side neighborhood. Note: front bedroom does not have closet but a closet room with washer and dryer were intended to serve that bedroom. Potential for enlarging the home remains through the possibility of adding a sunroom or dining room on to the back and/or finishing the attic space (it was drywalled in preparation for being finished). Don't miss this special Near West Side neighborhood opportunity, just a few blocks from the B-line, Farmer's Market, BloomingFoods, shops and restaurants.
