Thoughtfully updated and full of spaces to enjoy, this 4-bedroom, 2-full-bath home offers the perfect mix of comfort, character, and modern convenience. The renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, offering a fresh, inviting space for everything from weeknight dinners to hosting friends and family. Main floor laundry adds another layer of everyday convenience. Outside, the good stuff continues. The composite deck overlooks the private paver patio that flows seamlessly into the spacious backyard - creating the perfect setup for summer dinners, morning coffee, or evenings spent with friends. The detached 2-car garage adds valuable parking, storage, and workspace. Major mechanicals are already checked off the list, with the furnace and A/C replaced in 2021. Comfortable, practical, and beautifully updated, this is a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed.
Innovation District, located between Uptown Normal and Illinois State University, is a mixed-use and transit-oriented Normal neighborhood with modern infill blocks and a walkable street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Uptown Station plaza at Broadway Avenue and Beaufort Street, where cafes, small eateries, and event foot traffic set a steady tempo. Architecture leans contemporary—glass-and-brick mid-rises, adaptive-reuse storefronts, and tidy streetscapes with public art. The Children’s Discovery Museum and the Normal Theater act as cultural anchors alongside the Bloomington-Normal Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. Sidewalks link to Constitution Trail for car-light routines and weekend loops. Seasonal programming at the plaza keeps the district feeling active without feeling loud.
