814 W 3rd St, Bloomington, IN 47404

Tucked away—quite literally—in the heart of Prospect Hill, this delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod-style home is full of character and charm. Surrounded by the storybook homes of Bloomington’s historic Near Westside, it offers all the warmth of a classic neighborhood with the ease and confidence of newer construction. This home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years. From the new fiber cement siding in 2008 and fresh exterior paint in 2021 to a brand-new roof in 2016 (with a transferrable warranty!), it’s ready for its next chapter. The bathrooms were completely remodeled in 2023, and the crawlspace received a professional upgrade in 2025—also with a transferrable warranty for peace of mind. Outdoors, you’ll find a recently added back deck and a welcoming front patio, perfect for morning coffee or evening chats, surrounded by well-tended landscaping. This front space could be fenced in for a pet, if you needed a fenced yard. Inside, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of storage, especially the space under the stairs. Every closet has been maximized for functionality, and the layout makes great use of space. With an acceptable offer, seller is willing to provide a $5000 redecorating allowance for new flooring or other upgrades. The detached 1-1/2 car garage offers plenty of room for parking, tools, or even that kayak you've been meaning to use. The owner has been able to fit two small cars in it! There is plenty of off street parking for up to 3 or 4 cars, too! Just blocks from downtown, the B-Line Trail, Farmers' Market, and all that downtown Bloomington has to offer, this home is as convenient as it is cozy. Whether you're taking a stroll through the neighborhood or relaxing on the patio, you'll quickly see why homes in Prospect Hill are so beloved—and rarely available for long. The home is situated on the alley, directly behind 812 W 3rd. Turn down the alley to find this surprise! Walk Through video available on YouTube. Please note that taxes would be lower for owner occupants with a homestead exemption.
