8616 1st Avenue S

Welcome to a wonderfully updated Bloomington home offering far more space and versatility than you might expect from the curb. Step inside to a bright, oversized living room where beautiful hardwood floors, large windows and a wood-burning fireplace create a warm and inviting centerpiece for the main level. The updated kitchen combines clean, modern finishes with a practical layout, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry and a striking tile backsplash. The adjoining dining area offers plenty of flexibility—use it as an everyday gathering space, a spacious mudroom, or a combination of both. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors continue throughout the main and upper levels, adding warmth and character to the home. Upstairs is where this home becomes especially interesting. The flexible layout creates a private primary retreat with plenty of additional space for a home office, reading area or sitting room. Step directly outside onto the rooftop deck overlooking both the front and backyard—a truly unique outdoor space with room to lounge, entertain, enjoy your morning coffee or spend summer evenings under the stars. The basement was recently remodeled, adding a new 3/4 bathroom along with two additional rooms that offer even more flexibility. Use the space for an office, workout room, hobbies, guests or additional living space, with the potential to add an egress window and create another bedroom. And then there's the lot. At approximately .37 acres, the expansive yard provides room that's increasingly hard to find—play catch, plant a substantial garden, entertain friends or create the outdoor living space you've always wanted. The oversized attached two-car garage adds even more everyday functionality and storage. With its combination of classic character, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, huge yard, oversized garage and one-of-a-kind rooftop deck, this is a home that truly offers much more than first meets the eye.
