Adorable cottage sitting on an idyllic 1.03-acre lot. This ideal southeast location is convenient to everything Bloomington has to offer. A drive of only a few minutes gets you to campus, downtown, shopping, restaurants, theatres and the new hospital site. This picturesque property is beautifully landscaped with an abundance of flowers, trees and bushes that attracts birds and wildlife of all kinds. The original 2 bedroom home, currently being used as a 1 BR, has a large eat-in country kitchen and a separate dining room that has been used as a bedroom in the past and only needs the addition of an attached Armoire to serve as the 2nd BR again. The current bedroom was originally 2 BR?s, so is a large and comfortable space. A local reputable builder has been consulted and it was determined that it would be possible to build up, creating 2 more BR?s and another bath on the second level. So, while the home is perfect now for one person or a couple, with a few changes it could also accommodate a growing family. Features of this charming home include the original, beautifully finished pine wood floors, original cabinets in the kitchen, arched doorway between the large living room and the dining room, claw-foot tub in bathroom, and a unique built-in window bird feeder acting as your own private aviary. Outdoor living can be enjoyed in this nature lover?s paradise, with walks around the property and sitting on the front and back covered porches. There is a detached 2-car garage and plenty of parking space in the turn around driveway. This is also a perfect building site and you could live in the cottage while building your dream home here. This is an opportunity to purchase a very special property, in a desirable location, that is delightful as it is, but also has so many possibilities! Call to arrange for your private showing.

SR
Suburban Residential District
The character of the Suburban Residential (SR) District is defined as that which is primarily intended for existing, possibly nonconforming, recorded single family residential subdivisions and lots of record. Its purposes are to accommodate existing, substandard subdivision developments and lots, to permit the build-out of single family residential uses in those developments and lots, to encourage the development of sanitary sewer systems for the existing development in the Lake Lemon area, to discourage the development of nonresidential uses, to protect environmentally sensitive areas, such as floodplain, karst, and steep slopes, and to maintain the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, the number of uses permitted in the SR District is limited. Some uses are conditionally permitted. The conditions placed on these uses are to insure their compatibility with the residential uses. The need for expanding this district beyond the areas designated on the Official Zone Maps on the date of the adoption of the zoning regulations is not anticipated or encouraged.
