This distinctive 3-bedroom, 2-bath hilltop retreat on 7.38 forested acres is just 15 minutes from Indiana University, downtown Bloomington, and Lake Monroe. A screened porch at the front opens to a large landing with vaulted ceilings. The living space, all contained on the main level, features hardwood cherry floors throughout, a soapstone clad fireplace with a wood-burning stove insert and wood-framed windows that celebrate the four-seasons setting. The great room is open to the dining area and kitchen, which features white cabinets, double ovens and a walk-in pantry. The home offers a central vacuum system, both geothermal and solar energy sources, and a state-of-the-art Finnish wood-burning sauna cottage. There are two 58' x 12' recently (2019) stained wood decks on the lower and upper levels, as well as a screened porch with a "tree house" feel off one of two generous bedroom suites. One of the bathrooms was recently remodeled and features heated tile floors and a copper sink. There is a very large dry and naturally cool workshop and storage basement, as well as a spacious two-car garage that includes a recently (2020) treated slip-resistant surface. Walking trails line most of the serene and private property with significant landscaping upgrades, including native perennials, Hugelkultur-type raised garden beds and rainwater management systems to protect against erosion. Included in the price: Bosch washing machine, Maytag dryer, LG refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Kenmore chest freezer.
