This beautiful studio is a 2nd-floor walk-up located in a Historical limestone house. Upon entering the apartment you find yourself in the great room/sleeping area. Through a cased opening is the fully furnished kitchen. Its a quick 5-7 minute drive to Sample Gates and IU Memorial Stadium. Bloomington's B-line walking trail one block away!

The apartment is accessed through the lobby with a keypad entry door.

The building:

This apartment is located in a large historic home originally built in 1875 on the edge of the prestigious Prospect Hill neighborhood ( the oldest professionally developed neighborhood in Bloomington). Over the ensuing years the home underwent subdivision into apartments and several renovations while keeping the historic charm. Step into the lobby and enjoy the original woodwork and large doorways and huge, bright windows.

The Neighborhood:

Prospect Hill Neighborhood is located west of downtown Bloomington. Prospect Hill consists of owner-occupied and rented single family homes, plexes, small apartment buildings, large apartment buildings and commercial businesses. Amenities include Building Trades Park, Rose Hill Cemetery, and walkability and cycle routes to downtown, grocery stores, and commercial hubs.
The neighborhood was developed as a prestigious upper middle class area bordered by workers' cottages on the east, north and later to the west. It represents the only area developed as a professional residential neighborhood on the west side of town. Residents included a lawyer, a railroad conductor, storeowners and employees of the Showers Brothers furniture company.

The architecture of the district represents various "high styles" popular between 1890 and 1925, a time of growing affluence in Bloomington. The neighborhood includes Queen Anne, Free Classic and Period Revival style houses, some designed by prolific Bloomington architect John Nichols. There are also several examples of vernacular style houses, two mid-nineteenth century houses with Greek Revival and Federal details and bungalows and American four-squares of the 1920s. This diverse group of homes is a microcosm of Bloomington's overall residential history.

The Prospect Hill Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1991. Within the year, district residents also established Bloomington's first locally designated historic district.

Guests have access to the apartment, the communal front porch and lobby, and basement laundry room.

Parking is parallel street parking.
