Welcome to 8716 Virginia Avenue South. Hidden within one of West Bloomington's most treasured and quietly coveted neighborhoods, this exceptional home offers offers a beautiful lifestyle. Lovingly owned by the same owner for more than 40 years, this is a rare opportunity to own a dynamically updated home on an impressive .57-acre homesite backing to charming Pickfair Pond.
Thoughtfully renovated and completely move-in ready, every space reflects quality, comfort, and timeless style. The gorgeous kitchen features premium appliances, built-ins, and smart conveniences, while beautiful bathrooms, fresh paint, rich wood finishes, designer lighting, solid-core six-panel doors, premium waterproof carpeting, and abundant storage create a home that feels both elegant and functional. Four bedrooms on the main level! The attached garage adds even more storage plus a dedicated workshop area for projects, hobbies, and organization.
Outside, the nicely level backyard is expansive and every bit as impressive as the home itself. Large homesites like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find in West Bloomington, making this property especially valuable. Beautifully oriented and wonderfully usable, it offers exciting possibilities for future expansion, an addition, an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), a detached workshop, sport court, incredible gardens, or simply room to enjoy the privacy and open green space. A charming front balcony adds distinctive character, while the brand-new deck stretches across the entire back of the home, creating the perfect place to relax and take in the peaceful pond views. As a special bonus, a little-known woodland trail nearby winds through beautiful forest directly to Bush Lake, making this one of the area's true hidden gems.
Come experience the exceptional quality, remarkable setting, and endless possibilities this special property has to offer. Beautifully updated, thoughtfully improved, and surrounded by one of West Bloomington's most cherished natural landscapes, this is far more than a house - this is home.
