If the calm of the countryside is calling you, follow the winding roads just south of bustling Bloomington/Normal to the quiet community of Heyworth and you’ll find this impressive rural property offering 5 private acres of land, a fully renovated 5 bed/3.5 bath sprawling 1.5 story home with main-level primary suite PLUS an expansive 36’x36′ classic red barn ready for your farm machinery, boats, cars or expanded workshop! From the moment you pass through the stately front door and step into the inviting foyer, you can sense this welcoming home is truly something special. Glide across the velvety smooth heart pine flooring, a classy complement to the creamy clay-colored walls, and marvel at the striking cedar plank covered ceilings adding warmth and unique style to this modern whole-home renovation. A designerly custom kitchen awaits you with gorgeous Corian counters, glass arabesque tile backsplash and shining stainless appliance suite including gas range/oven, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher and undermount black composite sink overlooking the expansive yard. Creamy cabinets with undermount lighting, classy crown, and glass fronts make a striking contrast to the black matte pulls, fixtures and faucets. Floating island offers perfect prep space and breakfast bar for additional seating, illuminated by the soft glow of the bubble glass pendants. Follow the plank-style tile floors past the triple-wide built-in pantry into the expansive dining space or explore the outdoors and pass through the glass slider to enjoy the raised deck overlooking the acreage (and the chicken coop)! Back inside, just beyond the double sliding barn doors, a cozy gas fireplace bathed in striking wash of charcoal paint greets you in the family room and two full walls of windows to flood the space with natural light providing a picturesque view of all-season sunsets over the swaying field of prairie grass (that you own)! Main level primary suite is sure to impress with cozy carpet, spacious ensuite offering tub/shower combo with custom tile surround and expansive double-bowl vanity plus impressive walk-in closet offering plenty of room for storage. Thoughtfully planned main level laundry/mudroom adds convenience featuring built-in vanity with wash bin sink, and plenty of folding and storage space. Stylish half bath features with Moroccan inspired tile just around the corner is just great for guests. But that’s not all… follow the custom-built staircase up to the second level just as well-planned as the main level. Explore the additional guest bedrooms, each with cozy carpet, updated fixtures and enormous closets including a perfect in-law retreat with a private ensuite featuring walk-in shower with gleaming glass doors, custom tile and updated vanity. An additional full guest bath serves the second floor with tub/shower combo, custom tile surround, double-bowl vanity and linen closet. Flex room at the top of the stairs (currently being used as an office) features stunning cedar plank ceiling and gorgeous glass French doors creating a light and bright workspace or fitness area. Poured concrete unfinished basement with impressive ceiling height is ready for gaming, movie watching and additional entertaining space. Utility area houses the HVAC system, water heater, sump pump, radon mitigation system and reverse osmosis water purification and softening system (rented). Terrific two-car attached heated garage offers plenty of room for toys and tinkering plus updated garage doors adding style and function. Outside, you’ll find this 5 acre parcel the perfect blend of nearly 2 acres of mowed green space and 3 additional acres of rolling prairie grasses, giving you just enough to enjoy without overwhelming you in the work. Location is everything, just 5 minutes from top-rated Heyworth Schools, shops and grocery and only 15 minutes from beautiful Bloomington/Normal… Come make your country dreams come true!
