One of Bloomington’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Elm Heights, is now offering a distinguished Georgian colonial For Sale. Reconfigured to better support today’s lifestyle, with the sellers maintaining the original integrity of the home. From the moment you step onto the solid red oak hardwood floors and notice the walnut doors, with gum wood trim, the warmth and elegance capture you. The unique U-shaped center staircase, with a landing that separates the two parallel flights, is a quintessential feature of the home. A gracious living room, running from front to back of the home, includes a walnut mantled fireplace plus a wall of built-in bookcases, adding to the home’s character. In 2019 the kitchen was remodeled and equipped with high end LG stainless appliances, custom cabinets, white farmer’s sink, and a new pantry. All cabinets and appliances are highlighted by the magnificent marble countertops. Relax in the peaceful sitting area perfect for reading or TV watching that combines with the kitchen. Off the kitchen, the dining room includes more built-in shelves and a lovely view of the landscaped backyard. Numerous windows in every room provide bright natural light. In 2019 the main floor half bath was remodeled with new fixtures and tasteful blue/white wallpaper. On the 2nd level there are four generously sized bedrooms with roomy closets and more of those gorgeous red oak floors. The primary bedroom has a larger closet with deep shelving. A full bath, between two of the bedrooms, has a shower/tub combination and a period piece pedestal sink with gold fixtures. Below ground is a partially finished basement with vinyl plank flooring and a playroom/workout area. A woodworking shop, laundry area, plus plenty of extra storage space fill the unfinished portion. Basement is dry. Unique to many other Elm Height properties is the 1 car garage attached garage and a driveway long enough for 3-4 more vehicles.
