Set on a private, wooded 1-acre lot, this unique 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare blend of cabin-in-the-woods charm with convenient access to Bloomington amenities. Spanning three levels with a walk-out basement and upper-level loft, the home provides flexible living space, creatives, or anyone seeking privacy without isolation. The walk-out basement welcomes you into an L-shaped living area featuring a newer wood-burning stove (approximately 5 years old), a built-in coat storage, and a bench-perfect for everyday functionality. This level also includes a bedroom, full bath, den, family room, laundry room, utility space, and abundant storage. The main level features two bedrooms located off the stairwell, a centrally placed full bathroom, and an open-concept living room and kitchen highlighted by a dramatic A-frame ceiling and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. Recently refinished wraparound decking extends the living space outdoors and offers a peaceful setting to enjoy surrounding wildlife, including deer and birds. The upper-level loft overlooks the main living area and provides additional storage and versatile space ideal for a music room, office, or quiet retreat. Views from the loft to the main level create a striking architectural focal point. Major mechanical updates include a newer HVAC system (approx. 3 years), hot water heater (approx. 2 years), and roof (approx. 5 years), making this home truly move-in ready. Located just minutes from Bloomington High School North, Tri-North Middle School, and Arlington Elementary, with bus service at the end of the driveway. Enjoy the flexibility of Bloomington or Ellettsville school systems. Only 12-15 minutes from Indiana University, yet tucked away in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with long-time, supportive neighbors. A rare opportunity for buyers seeking privacy, nature, and character-without sacrificing convenience.
