On a quiet stretch of Nicki Drive in East Bloomington, this 5-bed, 3-bath home pairs everyday function with easygoing style. The main level gathers everyone together with an open family room flowing into a generous kitchen-loads of cabinetry and counter space, a sprawling coffee bar, and an adjoining dining area that looks out to the trees. Three bedrooms sit up here, including a primary suite with full bath. Downstairs, sunlight fills a second large family room, flanked by two additional bedrooms, a third full bath, storage/laundry, a **huge** walk-in pantry, and deep closets. Step outside to a wide deck with pergola overlooking a park-like yard and mature shade. The attached two-car garage is oversized with built-in shelving and a handy workshop bump-out. Unit 5 schools: Colene Hoose, Chiddix Jr. High, and Normal Community; Clearwater, McGraw, and Tipton parks are close by. Thoughtful updates include: new LVP in lower-level bedrooms/hall/bath (2024), HVAC (2023), new carpet on the main level plus LVP at entry/landing, tile in the lower family room, fresh neutral paint throughout, white-painted kitchen cabinets, and updated lighting/plumbing fixtures (all 2021); roof (2016) and water heater (2015). 1314 Nicki Drive shows like a model.
