    Versatile two-unit property offering multiple ways to make it work for you! Whether you're looking for an investment, an owner-occupied property with rental income, or a combination of long- and short-term rental opportunities, 1211 E Jefferson offers an incredible amount of flexibility. The main-level unit is currently operating as a successful short-term rental and could just as easily become an owner-occupied home, while the spacious upper unit provides additional rental income. The main level features generous living and dining spaces, an updated kitchen and full bath, and beautiful character throughout. The upper unit has its own kitchen, full bath and spacious bedrooms. With laundry available in the main-level unit and washer and dryer hookups added to the upper unit in 2025, both units now offer in-unit laundry. Numerous improvements have already been made, including the main-level furnace and central air, water heater, electrical improvements and replacement dining-room windows reported as completed in 2022, along with radon mitigation completed in 2024. The property can also be opened back up into a larger single-family home by reconnecting the interior access between the two levels. Outside, enjoy the inviting covered front porch, off-street parking and detached garage. The location is a standout feature, between the desirable Founders Grove and Bloomington Country Club areas, while also offering quick access to Veterans Parkway and several of Bloomington's main thoroughfares. From here, you're just minutes from major retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, medical offices and everyday conveniences, with OSF Medical Center also only a short drive away. It's a uniquely accessible location that makes getting around Bloomington easy while still offering the feel of an established residential neighborhood. This property gives the next owner options from day one: live in one unit and let the other help with your mortgage, continue using the main level as a short-term rental, or build your investment portfolio with two income-producing spaces. Some furnishings in the main-level short-term rental may be negotiable separately. Property is being sold as-is. Information is believed to be accurate but is not guaranteed, and buyers and their agents should independently verify information material to their purchasing decision. A unique property with character, income potential, flexibility, and an exceptionally convenient location! Some photos were taken prior to the current tenants.
