Step into a piece of Arrowsmith history with this charming circa-1870 home offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and approximately 1,543 square feet of finished living space. This distinctive home blends historic character with practical updates and refreshed interior spaces, including attractive wood floors throughout much of the home. The spacious upstairs primary bedroom opens directly to a covered private balcony, creating a unique retreat rarely found in a home of this era. Most rooms have been recently painted, including the bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, upstairs bathroom, and entry hallway, and most of the home's windows have also been replaced. The main level offers comfortable living and dining spaces, a roomy kitchen featuring generous cabinetry, recessed lighting, and included appliances, plus the convenience of main-floor laundry. The septic system was also replaced approximately 12 years ago. Outside, enjoy a spacious yard, patio area, storage shed, and detached garage equipped with a mini-split system for heating and cooling, adding useful year-round versatility. Enjoy the relaxed pace and small-town charm of Arrowsmith while remaining conveniently connected to the Bloomington-Normal area. Bloomington is approximately 18 minutes away, and Moraine View State Recreation Area is about 11 minutes away. This 1,687-acre recreation area features a 158-acre lake and offers fishing, boating, hiking, camping, swimming, horseback riding, and other outdoor recreation-giving you plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors just minutes from home. Historic character, thoughtful updates, small-town living, and easy access to both Bloomington-Normal and one of the area's great outdoor recreation destinations make this home worth seeing.
