About 524 S Highland Ave

Traditional 1930's English cottage home that has undergone two remarkable renovations over the last 2 decades, marrying the home's old charm and modern features beautifully. The home almost doubled in size as a result of the first transformative renovation, bringing a contemporary expansion to the home, complete with approximately 13-foot-tall ceilings, exposed steel beams and bamboo floors. The main level's living spaces flow gracefully, brightly lit from all around by the tall French doors and windows and anchored by a custom cook's kitchen with both bar top and eat-in space. The expansion also provided a main level primary ensuite bedroom with its own dedicated access to the tranquil enclosed brick courtyard. The most recent renovations and updates occurred within the last 5 years, bringing the home an additional completely new ensuite bathroom to one of the upstairs bedrooms. This most recent renovation included the expansion and remodel of the existing 2nd floor bathroom, as well as the addition of an additional HVAC system that is dedicated to the upstairs. The result is a remarkably sophisticated and unique home boasting almost 4000 finished square feet, three bedrooms and an office, three and a half baths, ample open living spaces for entertaining, two separate laundry areas (one on the main, one in the basement), an attached garage, large usable unfinished basement, and two HVAC systems designed to implement "zoned" heat/air for the ultimate comfort. This stunner is located just 2 blocks from Indiana University, in the heart of Elm Heights, one of Bloomington's most established and desirable neighborhoods.
