3 bedrooms | 1 bath | 3,317 square feet
Built in 1856
It sucks that this epic Queen Anne is already pending. But I can’t say I’m surprised considering it’s just $100k. This 1856 gem is devastatingly beautiful, with the perfect amount of aging to make it ooze spookiness without being a dilapidated mess.
Of course, it’s going to take plenty of repairs, but at that price, there’s so much meat on the bone. And if that piano doesn’t play in the middle of the night by itself, I’m going to be very disappointed.
Here’s the realtor’s description.
“Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a piece of history! This enchanting 3-bedroom home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 20, 1978, offers a unique blend of historic charm and potential. Designed by the prominent local architect George H. Miller, this eclectic Queen Anne-style residence features distinctive elements such as a hexagonal tower on the southeast corner, a conical dormer on the front roof, and an arched front entrance flanked by columns. Inside, you’ll find charming details like stained glass windows, including one showcasing Miller’s name at the entrance and a stunning circular window on the west side. The property also includes a spacious all-brick, three-car detached garage with a loft that’s ready to be finished, offering ample space for storage, hobbies, or even an additional living area. The huge side yard provides plenty of outdoor space for gardening or entertaining. While the home is currently ready for restoration, its rich history and architectural significance, combined with the added value of the garage and expansive yard, offer a solid foundation for a stunning renovation project. Don’t miss this chance to restore and cherish a significant piece of Bloomington’s architectural heritage. Sold As-Is. Agent Interest.”
