Holy potential! This 1986 Bloomington Country Club home is just so cool with amazing architecture & a layout you don't see every day. It has 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths & a 3 car garage. The main floor includes 2 suites, including the primary with beautiful golf course views. The living room overlooks the fairway & joins a formal dining room & large kitchen with a gas range, double ovens & a walk-in pantry. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms & a spacious bath with a separate shower, toilet & dual sinks. Downstairs you'll find a big family room, bedroom, bath & tons of storage. Rounded walls, open staircase from the upstairs to the basement, & vaulted ceilings with wood beams that add so much personality! Carpet needs replacing due to pet stains. This home is definitely worth seeing! The architecture and design of this Bloomington Country Club home make it truly one of a kind. Built in 1986, it captures that era's creativity and craftsmanship that newer homes rarely match. The open staircase is a showpiece, connecting all three levels in one flowing line. From the top landing, you can look all the way down to the main floor and basement, giving the home a sense of openness and depth that is hard to find.
The main level layout is both functional and full of charm. The living room features vaulted ceilings with wood beams and a wall of windows overlooking the golf course. It feels bright and connected to the outdoors while still maintaining privacy thanks to the mature landscaping. The formal dining room sits nearby and opens easily to both the living room and kitchen, making it a great space for gatherings.
The kitchen holds onto that timeless 80s craftsmanship that still feels warm and welcoming. It includes a large island with storage, a gas range with a vent hood, double ovens, and a walk-in pantry. There is space for a table by the windows that look out toward the side patio and pergola area. The cabinetry has a classic cherry tone that feels rich and inviting, and the mix of butcher block and black granite counters adds to the home's original character.
The main floor includes two bedrooms that both serve as suites. The primary suite overlooks the golf course and features a rounded wall that separates the bedroom from the bathroom. The secondary suite works perfectly for guests or extended family. Down the hall, you will find a laundry room that doubles as a hobby or craft space. It includes a sink, built-in desk, ironing board, and plenty of cabinet and counter space. It is practical and bright, a great example of how thoughtfully this home was designed.
Upstairs, there are three spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom with double sinks and a separate area for the toilet and shower. Each bedroom has built-ins for desks, cabinets, and closets, so the rooms feel complete without needing extra furniture.
The basement level is huge and open, featuring a family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a sink, built-in shelving, and a full wall of windows. Because of the lot's slope, the basement feels surprisingly bright and comfortable. There is also a large bedroom, a full bathroom, and tons of storage space.
Storage is a major highlight in this home. There is a main storage room with built-in shelving, a connected flex room that could easily serve as an additional 7th bedroom or gym. There are three water heaters located throughout the home for convenience and efficiency. The lot measures approximately .30 acres and is fully fenced. The current block wall sits inside the property line, but it could be moved outward, as several neighbors have done, to capture the full size of the yard. The backyard feels private while still offering wide-open golf course views.
The home has a three-car garage, mature landscaping, and sits on one of the most desirable streets in the Bloomington Country Club community. It has an amazing floor plan, unique architectural details, and endless potential for someone ready to bring it back to its full glory.
Yes, the carpet needs to be replaced and some of the flooring and paint could use attention. We are fully aware of that, but the good outweighs the bad by far. The design, space, and setting make this home worth every bit of effort. For someone with vision, this property could easily become a standout showpiece again.
Homes like this do not come up often in such a prime location. If you appreciate unique architecture, natural light, and homes with personality, this one is definitely worth seeing in person.
