Single Family Residence In Bloomington

A hidden estate where privacy, beauty, and timeless design define every detail. 9159 N. 1900 East Road is the kind of property that simply doesn’t come along very often. Tucked away on four beautifully wooded acres in the Award-Winning Tri-Valley School District, this extraordinary estate is hidden from the road and feels like a destination rather than an address. As you turn onto the private drive just north of Whisper Lane, you’ll pass the charming two-bedroom guest house and barn before the trees open up to reveal what feels more like a private Tuscan villa than a Central Illinois home. The moment you arrive, the outside world seems to disappear. It’s peaceful, timeless, and incredibly special. Designed for both everyday living and unforgettable entertaining, the main home offers 7-8 bedrooms, 5.5 baths and a floor plan that effortlessly blends warmth with grand architectural details. Flagstone steps lead to an impressive entry where soaring spaces, Spanish tile flooring, skylights, transom windows and custom built-ins create character around every corner. The heart of the home is an exceptional kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a marble island, granite and butcher block countertops, a full suite of high-end appliances, including a Viking Professional six-burner range, commercial hood and double wall ovens, plus a Sub-Zero refrigerator and full-size Sub-Zero freezer. The adjoining family room offers a wood burning fireplace and walls of windows for ample natural light. The separate dining room opens to the expansive deck, while the walk-in pantry, oversized laundry room with island and mud sink, and thoughtfully designed storage make daily life as functional as it is beautiful. The home was designed to embrace the surrounding landscape from nearly every room. Multiple patios, balconies, a screened porch and walk-out basement leading to the large flagstone courtyard are just some of the expansive outdoor living spaces that invite you to slow down and enjoy the picturesque setting. There are two luxurious primary suites, one on the main level with private deck access and a remarkable walk-in closet, and another upstairs with its own balcony. Every upstairs bedroom enjoys its own en suite bath & built-in desk study spaces, while a loft and a cedar-lined walk-in closet w/ pull-down attic stairs add even more flexibility. The walkout lower level continues the home’s inviting feel with nine-foot ceilings, stained concrete floors, a wet bar with refrigerator, two bedrooms, a generous recreation space, ample storage and one unforgettable feature you’ll simply have to experience in person. Practical updates have been equally well considered, including a metal roof, leaf-free gutters, upgraded high-pressure well, screened porch, new water heater, radon mitigation, Culligan water conditioning system, two high-efficiency furnaces, three-car garage with overhead storage and keyless entry, and so much more. Adding tremendous versatility, the separate guest house provides two bedrooms and one full bath, making it ideal for extended family, guests, a caretaker, home office or creative studio. Combined with the barn, mature trees, unmatched privacy and room to roam, this property offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from the center of town. It’s more than a home-it’s a retreat, a gathering place, and one of those rare properties that leaves a lasting impression long after you’ve driven away.
