Description
The breathtaking beauty of fall in Founders Grove on Bloomington's historic east side is like no other! Tucked on wistful Willard Avenue surrounded by stately homes you'll find this cheerful buttercream American foursquare has been carefully improved by the current owners over the last two decades, while still honoring the original character and charm of this century old beauty. Pass through the expansive covered porch and into the welcoming foyer where you'll be greeted by original rich hardwoods, trim and panel doors, framing the open and airy 9' ceilings lifting your eyes and inviting you to explore more! Striking open staircase, original wainscoting and leaded glass greet you at the door and set the tone for the style of this home, a hint of the true craftsmanship and attention throughout. Follow the hardwoods into the generously sized family room and open-concept formal dining room featuring a wall of windows and stunning built-in hutch with leaded glass and plenty of storage to set the tone for entertaining evenings. Completely remodeled kitchen (2020) offers charming style, functionality and modern upgrades including stainless dishwasher, built-in microwave, glass cooktop range, undermount sink and side-by-side refrigerator. Fresh white cabinets stretching to the ceiling feature crown and brushed nickel pulls, sparkling quartz counters and copper sconces help to blend the old and new style of this welcoming space. Plenty of room for a floating island for extra prep and storage plus easy access to the expansive (original!) built-in pantry space with gorgeous glass fronts and upper/lower storage options. Head up the stately split stairs to find three generously sized bedrooms featuring (you guessed it) more exposed hardwoods and impressive closet space... and don't miss the walk-in closet conveniently located near the full bathroom for additional storage! The full bathroom remodel (2020) includes fresh white board & batten, striking hex tile floors, shower/tub combo with subway tile surround and tall vanity with quartz top and undermount sink, a modern contrast to the gleaming chrome fixtures! The lower level of this home has been wonderfully maintained with a fresh whitewash in the laundry area and finished drywall space for the sink and toilet, with potential to finish for a theater room, fitness or hobby space. Expansive storage space features the HVAC (2018) and Water Heater (2017) plus built-in work bench for tinkering and tools. The main sewer line of the home was also replaced in 2025 to ensure the health and durability of this home for decades to come. Nearby neighborhood elementary and easy access to the Constitution Trail, grocery, shops and restaurants make location ideal. Come see all 411 Willard has to offer!
