A forest-view private deck spans the length of this beautiful home, where a plethora of birds, butterflies, and wildlife await the new owners. Kitchen features include rich warmwood cabinets, newer KitchenAid appliances, new tile flooring, counter space galore, and a large pantry with a hidden door. The spacious living and dining areas open seamlessly to the deck for effortless entertaining. The primary bedroom offers a large custom-built closet and a walk-in shower, complemented by two additional spacious bedrooms on the main floor. For complete convenience, all doors throughout are 36-inch wheelchair accessible. The lower level boasts a wonderful library and a cozy reading nook-perfect to snuggle up with a good book! A welcoming, beautifully finished guest bedroom includes a sliding door for privacy from the expansive family/rec room, where double glass doors and multiple windows frame the tranquil wooded view. A full bath and an optional heat source via a wood-burning cast-iron stove round out the finished space, along with a large unfinished storage/workshop area. In addition to the two-car attached garage, a large detached outbuilding offers endless possibilities to house extra vehicles, boats, or a full workshop. So much more to see on this fabulous property, all located just minutes from Monroe Lake, grocery stores, Bloomington shopping, and I-69.
