630 E University Street

Experience the Bloomington they write books about! 630 E University, one of just a few homes built with parts from the old Monroe County Courthouse, has been architect-restored and upgraded to feature the stuff of dreams: unbelievable woodwork, meticulous details, modern conveniences. It’s less than a block to The Elm restaurant, a few blocks to IU and Bryan Park, and under a mile to downtown. The home comfortably incorporates its new wiring, plumbing, and buried utilities, while proudly showcasing attributes like art-glass windows, galvanized soffits, and red oak pocket doors. A gorgeous double staircase connects the entryway to dining room, providing a circular flow between all common space including the parlor and living room. Keep it cozy in each room, or open it up to enjoy plentiful space for visitors. The beautiful kitchen with greenery views has limestone countertops, access to the fenced yard, and a custom storage bench. A main-floor primary bedroom with private bath has ten-foot ceilings. Upstairs, there’s another full bathroom with a “wet room” style shower, and three additional bedrooms, each with glass-transom entries. The home's initial restoration was completed in 2014 and the current owners have made additional improvements, including new garage shelving, whole-house humidity control, a working fireplace, and custom closet systems. See attached list for all known work completed. Extraordinary Elm Heights living awaits!
