This fabulous, all brick ranch home is ideally located in the historic David Davis Mansion neighborhood. Nestled in a wooded corner lot, the property is surrounded by deciduous and evergreen trees for a perfect combination of sunshine and shade. Overlooking the serene backyard (lush in the springtime!) is a large screened-in porch, for easy open-air dining directly off the kitchen. The prime location allows for short walks to three levels of school: Washington Elementary, Bloomington Junior and Bloomington High School, as well as Illinois Wesleyan University. The yard includes a private gate directly onto the Constitution Trail for immediate access to scenic walking, running, or biking to Uptown Normal and beyond. A coffee shop, bakery, and organic grocer are all within easy walking distance. The heated two-car garage is spacious with plenty of room for bikes and storage. A new driveway was poured in 2015. The main floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 recently updated bathrooms and washer and dryer. Lower level offers direct access to the garden, and includes 2 additional bedrooms, a bathroom, washer/dryer, and utility sink. A new furnace and air-conditioning unit were installed in 2020. The basement de-watering system was installed in 2015 with a lifetime warranty. Generator & fuse box in 2009; roof in 2010. The family room, main bedroom, and kitchen all have new Anderson windows. This home offers a unique balance of proximity and seclusion for a family to enjoy outdoor activities, bird watching from the back porch, a game of pool in the den, and holidays around the cozy fireplace
