Historic Bloomington Landmark | Fully Furnished | 7 Bedrooms | Parking Included | Downtown Location

Formerly the beloved Scholars Inn Gourmet Café & Wine Bar, this extraordinary home—originally built in 1845—has been meticulously restored from top to bottom, blending modern luxury with deep historic character. Every detail honors its past while offering the comforts today’s residents expect.

The home features 7 bedrooms and 4 newly constructed bathrooms, finished with beautiful tile and high-end fixtures, and can accommodate up to 10 occupants. A brand-new kitchen, thoughtfully placed where the bar once stood, is ideal for both casual meals and entertaining.

The main level includes the kitchen, living room, patio, and a large side deck, while the upper level functions almost like a private suite, offering additional bedrooms, its own living room, kitchenette, full bathroom, and a large outdoor deck—sleeping up to four and providing excellent privacy and flexibility.

The home is fully furnished in a modern, eclectic, and whimsical style, with thoughtful nods to its history as a Bloomington landmark restaurant and bar. Entertainment is built in, with five large flat-screen smart TVs (three downstairs, two upstairs) and a whole-home sound system.

Located within walking distance of downtown restaurants, bars, shops, and the Farmers Market, and just a 15–20 minute walk to Indiana University’s campus and stadiums, this location is hard to beat. Off-street parking is included, along with everyday conveniences like central air, washer & dryer, and lawn care.

If you’re looking for a fully furnished, one-of-a-kind historic home downtown with space, style, and parking, this property truly stands apart.
