Description
Cozy house, big heart. 605 W. Empire is a one-story on Bloomington's near west side that's been quietly taken care of for years, and it shows. The living room sits at the front with oak trim, soft gray walls and the kind of light that makes a Sunday afternoon feel slow. Waterproof luxury vinyl plank runs through the main level (2020), so it holds up to boots, dogs and real life. The kitchen is the heart of the place: oak cabinets, pantry storage, gas range, a newer Moen faucet and room for a table. Two bedrooms, one full bath, and a full basement with laundry and plenty of room to spread out. The mechanicals are the quiet story here: roof and gutters 2009, Trane A/C 2016, Trane high-efficiency furnace with Aprilaire whole-home humidifier 2017, newer water heater, basement dewatering system with battery-backup sump (lifetime warranty), and a 2-car oversized detached garage with opener and keypad. Out back, a fenced yard with room for a garden and a grill. Walk a few minutes to downtown and IWU. Easy to love, easier to own.
