Property Description
AUCTION – Expansive brick home offering nearly 6,800 finished square feet
on 5.93 partially wooded acres in Bloomington, Indiana.
Located at 2557 S Smith Road, this substantial Bloomington
residence offers an impressive combination of space, privacy and convenience.
Set on approximately 5.93 rolling, partially wooded acres, the property
provides a secluded residential setting while remaining convenient to Indiana
University, downtown Bloomington and the amenities of the city’s east and south
sides.
Built in 1996, the one-and-a-half-story brick home offers
approximately 6,794 square feet of finished living space, including 4,265
square feet above grade and 2,529 square feet in the finished walk-out basement,
according to MLS information. The home features 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms
and 2 half bathrooms, providing substantial space for everyday living,
entertaining, guests and flexible-use areas.
The home’s generous floor plan includes large gathering spaces
throughout. MLS room dimensions show a 26′ x 21′ living room, 21′ x 23′
recreation room and multiple generously sized bedrooms, including
upper-level bedrooms measuring as large as 24′ x 13′. A fireplace serves as a
focal point in the main living area.
Outdoor living is another highlight. County records identify a 595-square-foot
wood deck, 595-square-foot concrete patio and 238-square-foot open porch,
creating multiple areas to enjoy the property’s wooded surroundings and rolling
terrain. An attached garage provides approximately 575 square feet of
additional space.
The full finished walk-out basement significantly expands the
home’s versatility, offering approximately 2,529 finished square feet on the
lower level. Whether utilized for recreation, entertaining, guests, hobbies,
home offices or other needs, the lower level provides substantial additional
living space.
The setting helps distinguish this property. The nearly six-acre parcel
offers rolling terrain and mature wooded areas, creating privacy and a
sense of separation while maintaining a Bloomington address. County GIS
information identifies the property as CVR – Conservation Residential 2.5
zoning and places the parcel in an area of minimal flood hazard. Buyers should
independently verify zoning, permitted uses and all GIS information with the
appropriate governmental agencies.
With its substantial square footage, finished walk-out basement, outdoor
living areas and nearly six-acre setting, 2557 S Smith Road presents a rare
opportunity to acquire a large Bloomington residence with room to live, gather
and entertain.
The property is being offered in conjunction with a generational
Bloomington real estate portfolio auction, providing buyers an opportunity
to acquire a distinctive residential property along with the separate
investment properties being offered near Indiana University.
