Although the neighborhood of Dimmitt’s Grove is immensely desirable for many buyers, we want to point out that the homes are also affordable! Living inside a home that is rich in Bloomington's history is well within reach for many people. Ranging in sale price from under $100,000 up to near $200,000, there are plenty of options that we can’t wait to show off. The homes tend to be on the larger side for their price range, which is just another plus of the historic homes found here. Currently listed homes average of 2,000 to 4,000 square feet. While we can attempt to describe some of the unique features of these homes, they can not be truly appreciated until a buyer walks through the front door. Beautiful woodwork, built in’s, wrap around front porches, hard wood floors, French doors, and large kitchens appeal to many buyers. Just imagine yourself calling a stunning Victorian style house that was built in the late 1800’s your new home!

It is said, “It was a mistake to think of houses, old houses, as being empty. They were filled with memories, with the faded echoes of voices. Drops of tears, drops of blood, the ring of laughter, the edge of tempers that had ebbed and flowed between the walls, into the walls, over the years…” (Nora Roberts, Key of Knowledge). We cannot agree more and we truly believe that all of those memories contribute to the character of a house and make it feel like HOME that much more. Please allow us the pleasure of showing you what Dimmitt’s Grove can offer your family.
