    What's special

    Historic charm and distinctive craftsmanship define this two-story Georgian Revival brick home in Bloomington’s Elm Heights neighborhood. Built in 1929 by Alonzo Myers of New Castle, Indiana, for the Schmalz family, this residence offers four bedrooms, one full bathroom, and two half bathrooms on an approximately 0.18-acre lot. Architectural highlights include hardwood floors, a solid walnut staircase, original red gum and beech woodwork, crown molding, arched doorways, and glass doorknobs. Limestone accents and decorative millwork frame a welcoming entrance, while a vestibule window seat adds character. The spacious living room features a brick fireplace with a tile hearth and wood mantel, complemented by arched French doors. A sunroom with thirteen windows offers a bright setting for reading, relaxing, or working from home. The formal dining room features a crystal chandelier and a corner hutch with distinctive “Hoosier” hardware. A breakfast nook with built-in seating and cabinetry, along with a butler’s pantry, adds practical charm to the kitchen. Four upstairs bedrooms provide flexibility for sleeping, guests, or a home office. The basement adds storage and utility space, with rustic wood detailing and a second fireplace. Outdoor features include porches, balcony, and a backyard with privacy fencing. Located just four blocks south of Indiana University’s campus, the home offers convenient access to campus, downtown Bloomington’s dining and cultural attractions, and shopping. Its Elm Heights setting combines an established residential neighborhood with proximity to the university and city center.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What I love most about this home is its warmth and timeless architecture. The original woodwork, hardwood floors, graceful archways, and solid walnut staircase give it a character that makes every room feel special. The sunny breakfast nook is a lovely place to start the morning, and the sunroom invites you to settle in with a good book. It is a cozy, welcoming home for raising a family, with space for shared meals, celebrations, and quiet moments of your own. I love how its historic details fit naturally into everyday life. Being in Elm Heights, close to Indiana University and downtown Bloomington, adds to the pleasure of calling this place home.
