1202 E Maxwell Lane

This handsome home circa early 1800s is one of the oldest homes in Bloomington. This was the original home in this part of Bloomington now known as Elm Heights and Maxwell Manors and was owned by Dr Maxwell, Bloomington’s first physician, who was sometimes called the “father of Indiana University.” This beautiful Home on this fantastic corner lot near Bryan Park and the Indiana University campus is spacious with three levels of living space and large rooms with volume ceilings. Beautiful original hardwood floors and tiger-maple woodwork enhance the custom millwork and design. The main level has an open kitchen with a formal dining room, formal living room and turned stair leads to the upper level bedrooms with large-scale spaces and access to the third-level stair that has recreation space, plus an additional full bathroom and beautiful light filled skylights. Architectural features include corner fireplace, stained glass, pre-1850 design, high ceilings, recent modern additions that include solar panels that reduce energy costs dramatically. This four bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home lends itself to graceful living yet modern openness.
