Perched on a hill with excellent southern exposure, this classic 1961 West Bloomington rambler offers space, light, and flexibility. The home has undergone a major remodel and expansion, including a striking art studio addition with loft, expanded garage, and both main-level and basement additions. The remodeled kitchen anchors generous living spaces, including a dining room large enough to host gatherings of 20 or more. The lower level features a fully self-contained apartment with private access from the attached garage—ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. Set on a quiet residential street in the highly sought-after Poplar Bridge Elementary school area, this home combines mid-century character with thoughtful modern updates and unique creative spaces. Convenient West Bloomington location near parks, trails, and everyday amenities.
