The home has a modern, eclectic, and fun design, with a subtle nod to its former life as a beloved Bloomington restaurant and bar. It also includes:
5 large flat-screen smart TVs (2 upstairs, 3 downstairs)
Built-in sound system
Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces
Located within walking distance of downtown restaurants, bars, shops, and the Farmers Market, and just a 15 20 minute walk to IU's campus and stadiums, this home offers unbeatable access to both campus life and downtown Bloomington.
