Perched above the street on a sun-drenched southern slope, this mid-century rambler offers a rare blend of privacy, updates, and everyday convenience in the heart of Bloomington. The elevated setting not only melts snow quickly in winter but creates a unique treetop feel once you're inside. The home features two true bedrooms on the main level, along with a flexible third room currently used as a dining space - ideal for those needing a home office, dedicated dining, or optional bedroom. You'll also find hardwood floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances. Downstairs, the finished lower level expands your living space with a large rec room, wet bar, and wood stove - perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A 3-car attached tuck-under garage is a coveted amenity at this price point, made even more practical by guest-friendly concrete parking pads at street level accommodating up to four additional vehicles. A fully privacy-fenced backyard and new Trex deck installed in 2021 make outdoor living maintenance-free, while major system upgrades like a 200-amp panel and newer roof (2021) mean the major-ticket items are already done. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, and parks, this property is an ideal first home - or the right-size move - for affordable living in the South Metro.
