Step into a piece of Bloomington history with this beautifully renovated 3-story Arthur Pillsbury home, where timeless character and modern updates come together in all the right ways. From the moment you walk through the door, you'll fall in love with the grand staircase, refinished hardwood floors, original trim and doors, stained glass windows, pocket doors, and the kind of craftsmanship that simply can't be replicated today. The updated kitchen blends historic charm with modern convenience, featuring 42" cabinetry, solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances with double ovens, exposed brick, tile flooring, and a spacious walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a cozy fireplace and sitting room - the perfect retreat at the end of the day. Both full bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled in a modern vintage style that complements the home's character beautifully. The finished third floor provides endless flexibility for a home office, guest space, playroom, studio, or additional living area. Downstairs, the bright and clean basement includes an egress door, large laundry room, utility tub, and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard, 2-car garage, and an unbeatable location just steps from the charm of the historic neighborhood. Grab coffee or groceries down the cobblestone street, take an evening stroll past the iconic David Davis Mansion, or hop onto the nearby Constitution Trail. This is more than a home - it's an experience filled with warmth, history, and character.
