Seven acres, five minutes from everything. A gravel lane under an old pine leads back to 14378 N 1000 East Rd, a custom-built one-story on 7.48 mowed acres just west of Bloomington in Dry Grove Township. The field is kept like a lawn, the back line is trees, and Rivian, Walmart, Unit 5 schools and downtown Bloomington are all a short drive down Route 9. The house is a 2003 build with 2x6 construction, spray foam insulation and 4 inches in the attic. Roof and vinyl siding 2012-13. A covered front porch leads into one open main level under a vaulted, beamed ceiling: a 21x15 family room anchored by a slat-wall media center with linear electric fireplace (2026), a 14x14 kitchen with a wraparound breakfast bar that seats four, cabinets refinished with new hardware, sink and faucet (2024), stainless appliances and walk-in pantry, and a 15x9 dining area at the slider to the full-width rear deck. Wide-plank custom pine floors (refinished 2018) run through the living spaces, ceramic tile in the kitchen and laundry. Recessed lighting throughout. Both main-floor bedrooms are en suites with their own deck access. The 21x16 primary has a whirlpool tub set at the windows, a walk-in closet and a dedicated mini-split heat pump (2024) so that room runs at its own temperature. The 18x11 second bedroom has its own full bath. First-floor laundry. The basement was finished in 2025 with 9' ceilings and roughly 1,000 square feet of living space: a 631 sq ft family room with painted brick accent wall and wood-look tile, a third bedroom (155 sq ft, egress and closet), a 155 sq ft den, a full bath with tub/shower, a built-in mudroom bench with cubbies and hooks, and a wet-bar rough-in. The 362 sq ft mechanical room has heavy-duty gym mats and room for a workout setup. Everything else is recent too. All four bathrooms updated with new vanities, sinks, faucets, toilets and paint, and one shower replaced (2025). Whole-house repaint, every interior door removed, sanded, treated, painted and fitted with matching new hardware (2025). New light fixtures, switches and outlets throughout and a new basement electrical subpanel (2024). Water heater and water treatment system (2022), dual sump pump system (2023), whole-house dehumidifier (2024), water softener and pressure tank (2019). Geothermal heat pump heats and cools the entire house; the propane furnace serves the garage only. Private well, septic, Corn Belt Electric. The attached 3-car garage is heated with its own propane furnace (2024), has its own electrical panel, hot and cold water and openers, so it works as a shop and not just parking. Concrete apron and gravel drive. Staying with the house: Starlink satellite, exterior Ring cameras and doorbell, heavy-duty metal shelving in the garage and basement, gym floor mats, TV mounts, curtains and all appliances except the garage refrigerator. Schools are Fox Creek Elementary, Parkside Junior High and Normal Community West. Acreage this close to town rarely comes up, and this one comes with the big work already done.
