S. Rogers
For sale now, priced at $64,900
Hard
to find: A circa 1900 gabled-ell house in the McDoel Gardens Neighborhood at a low
price.
BRI
purchased this house from an owner who had lived there since 1948. It
appears very little has been
changed since the day she purchased the house -- this one still has the
original windows, wood porch trim, tongue and groove wood floors and
unpainted woodwork.
We're
fixing structural problems, leveling floors, replacing rotted wood
sub-structure, and building a new concrete foundation -- all included in
the price. The house needs a new kitchen, and most buyers would want to
update the bathroom. This two-bedroom house is
bigger than many gabled-ell type houses, with about 982
square feet of living space. There is also a small garage at the rear of
the lot.
We
purchased the house in order to make sure it gets into the hands of
someone who will appreciate its classic character and restore it. Funding
for the project came in part from the Historic Landmarks Foundation of
Indiana.
BRI
sells all properties with protective covenants to ensure the historic
building will be renovated and protected from future exterior changes
that would detract from its character.
For
more information on this house or to make an appointment to see the
house, call Steve Wyatt at 336-0909. BRI can also be contacted by email
at bri@BloomingtonRestorations.org.

715 W. Vine St., Ellettsville
For sale now, priced at $59,990
A
block from the library and post office!
This
outstanding Greek Revival two-story house is on a quiet street just a short
walk from the library and post office in Ellettsville. Habitable as-is, the
house needs some work but at this price it's very affordable. On the front
there is a two-story portico with balcony. In back there is an enclosed
back porch and workshop, fenced in yard, and two-car garage.
The
house has wood floors, many original windows and doors, and the character
you would expect in a house built by a master carpenter in 1875. We are
purchasing the house to make sure it gets into the hands of someone who
will appreciate its classic character and restore it.
For
more information on this house or to make an appointment to see the house,
call Steve Wyatt at 336-0909. BRI can also be contacted by email at bri@BloomingtonRestorations.org.

1621 S. Walnut St., Bloomington
For sale now, priced at $55,490
Three
bedrooms and Colonial Revival styling
This one-and-a-half
story house has three bedrooms and 1,240 square feet of finished space,
plus another 600 square feet of basement. A Colonial Revival gem, it
anchors the corner of Walnut and Vermilya south of downtown.
The
house has wood floors, many 1920s six-over-six windows, original doors,
original light fixtures, archways between rooms and beautiful, unpainted
woodwork.
We've
re-roofed the house, but before the roof was replaced there were leaks that
resulted in water damage to interior flooring and steps. Those sections
need repaired, the kitchen needs updating and the upstairs bathroom needs work.
At this price, you can afford to restore and make the house just the way
you want it.
We are
purchasing the house to make sure it gets into the hands of someone who
will appreciate its classic character and restore it. For more information
on this house or to make an appointment to see the house, call Steve Wyatt
at 336-0909. BRI can also be contacted by email at bri@BloomingtonRestorations.org.

4585 E. State Road 45
For sale now, priced at $49,000
Two bedroom
Tudor Revival stone cottage
Near
University Elementary and a short drive from Indiana University,
this limestone cottage is on almost two-thirds of an acre with mature
trees.
This
charming house has water damage from roof leaks, but so much of the original
character survives that its a great candidate for restoration. The masonry
appears to be in good condition, as are most of the original windows. Some
floors and much of the plaster would likely need to be replaced due to
moisture damage. Because of the deterioration, the house is priced at what
we think the land alone is worth. And it includes a two-car stone garage.
The
house has 725 square feet of finished space on the ground floor, another
288 square feet upstairs plus an unfinished basement with 725 square feet
of unfinished space.
We are
purchasing the house to make sure it gets into the hands of someone who
will appreciate its classic character and restore it. For more information
on this house or to make an appointment to see the house, call Steve Wyatt
at 336-0909. BRI can also be contacted by email at bri@BloomingtonRestorations.org.
