Property Description

A remarkable piece of Bloomington history in beloved Founder's Grove! Regally positioned on a raised lot along East Grove, where mature trees line the street and contribute to the neighborhood's timeless character, 1317 E. Grove is a true gem where historic charm and thoughtful modern renovation come together beautifully. Built in 1863, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3-full-bath home is rich with original character, including gorgeous hardwood flooring, period millwork, abundant built-ins and architectural details you simply cannot recreate. A sprawling covered front porch with porch swing sets the tone before stepping inside to an impressive and versatile main level featuring gracious living and dining spaces, a family room, private office, wet bar/butler's pantry and a showstopping renovated gourmet kitchen. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen offers extensive custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, pull-out shelving, Quartz countertops & backsplash, a large island with seating and high-end Cafe appliances, including a gas range with double oven. One of the home's most enchanting spaces is the true 4-season room with cathedral ceilings and an electric fireplace, overlooking a fenced backyard that feels like your own secret garden-lushly landscaped with mature trees, established gardens and fruit trees. Choose either of two staircases to reach the second level, where you'll find 4 bedrooms and 2 beautifully remodeled full baths. The stunning primary suite features dual closets with custom organization and lighting plus a luxurious en suite bath with heated floors, double vanity with custom cabinetry and a walk-in shower. The fully insulated walk-up attic serves as an incredible 5th bedroom and offers even more flexible living space. Outside, enjoy the private fenced yard, mature landscaping and detached 2-car garage with convenient alley access. Since 2022, the current owners have completed an extraordinary number of renovations and improvements while carefully preserving the history and soul of this special home. This isn't simply a beautifully updated house-it is one of Founder's Grove's truly distinctive homes, thoughtfully prepared for its next chapter.
