Iron Gate Farms is an incredibly peaceful and well-manicured subdivision located only a few minutes from Indiana University and downtown Bloomington. Built by Jerry Shields, this remarkable custom home boasts an ideal open floor plan and is nestled on a private wooded lot spanning nearly 5 acres at the border of the subdivision. The ranch-style residence comprises 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a cozy study. As you enter the home, your eyes are immediately drawn to the engineered wood flooring, and it extends throughout the residence. In the great room is a striking stone fireplace with a distinctive wood mantelpiece, and the option to convert the wood-burning fireplace to gas logs. Start your day with a cup of coffee on either the front covered porch or the screened-in rear porch, both offering views of nature's beauty. The kitchen, a culinary enthusiast's dream, showcases custom cabinetry by Ferree Cabinet Company, sleek quartz countertops, and a functional kitchen island. Additionally, the kitchen boasts a spacious walk-in pantry for added convenience. The primary bedroom impresses with two walk-in closets, while the primary bath features dual sinks and a generously sized walk-in shower. Further highlights of this residence include 9-foot ceilings, recessed lighting, a tankless water heater, cabinetry and sink in the laundry room, wood ceilings on the porches, an 8' x 5' covered stoop at the side entry, a partial chain-link fence in the backyard, irrigation system, and an expansive 3-car attached garage approximately 880 square feet. Positioned set back from the road, this custom home provides a private and serene atmosphere for the homeowners.
