Cottage on Kirkwood: Downtown Charm, Close to IU

Charming cottage built in 1900 on iconic Kirkwood Ave just blocks to the Square and the best of everything Bloomington has to offer. IU, restaurants, bars, shops, breweries, B-Line mere minutes away. The home has a town-and-country vibe with ample natural light and farmhouse style, large backyard, patio and grill, off-street parking in driveway for 2 cars, and bus stop next door. Well-behaved dogs considered.

Additional details:
Note that Kirkwood is a lively, bustling street in the tightly gridded historic Prospect Hill neighborhood. In recent years, Bloomington has leaned in to its urban side near downtown but remains overall a safe and civil city with a small town feel. That being said, guests should expect to encounter a wide variety of nearby street, human, and (yes!) even pet noise. Ear plugs and white noise machines are provided for your comfort and convenience.

The home was built in 1900, is bigger than it looks (1132 sq ft), and definitely has a "this old house" personality. Inspired by the vintage farmhouse ceramic sink in the kitchen, the decor has a shabby chic rustic vibe. But to make your stay as comfortable as possible, modern amenities and updates abound: keyless entry, 43" Roku TV, high speed Wifi, top-of-the-line mattresses and soft bed linens, light-filtering curtains in king bedroom and room-darkening in queen bedroom, a well appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, microwave, and stove), a darling outdoor patio with plenty of seating and a gas grill, Keurig-style and regular coffeemaker, multi-device charging stations, and more. There is also a well-lit, quiet, cozy working office alcove in the very back of the house.

Bedroom 1 has a queen bed with a high quality mattress, plush pillows, and soft sheets.

Bedroom 2 has a king bed with a high quality mattress, plush pillows, and soft sheets.

The living room has seating for five. 43" Roku TV provided with some free programming, or you can stream your favorite premium channels on your own subscription accounts. The sofa is also a sofa bed that sleeps up to 2 people.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Wonderlab Science Museum. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cottage.

Cute for a small group
This was a really cute house! It was a perfect size for 2 couples. Very well stocked with everything we needed for a weekend. We liked that it was walking distance to downtown.

A night off campus
This gave us all we needed. I picked up my daughter from campus and we enjoyed an fall evening carving pumpkins, watching movies and eating too much. The house is clean and cozy. Communication was great. Will be staying again.
